TLDR
Higher concentrations of dioxins and coplanar PCBs were detected in the samples from temperate Asian regions, plausibly due to larger usage and anthropogenic generation in highly industrialized countries around the East China Sea and the South China Sea, such as Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and coastal China.About:

TL;DR: The effects of pollutants on the cellular biochemistry of microalgae and the biochemical mechanisms thatmicroalgae use to detoxify or modify pollutants are reviewed and the potential uses ofMicroalgae as bioindicator species as an early sentinel in polluted sites are evaluated.

TL;DR: It is found that the major emission sources for the industrial chemicals like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are in the developed nations while those of organochlorine pesticides like dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and its metabolites (DDTs), hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs) are located in developing countries.

TL;DR: Elevated concentrations of HBCD were found in skipjack tuna from areas around Japan, which have the larger modern industrial/urban societies, and implicated these areas as primary regional sources.

TL;DR: It was concluded that the TEF concept is still the most plausible and feasible approach for risk assessment of halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons with dioxinlike properties.

Dioxins and furans in air and deposition: A review of levels, behaviour and processes

TL;DR: Data are reviewed which relate the mixture of PCDD/Fs in air to that in deposition; this leads to the conclusion that different homologue groups are transferred to the earth's surface with broadly similar efficiencies.
