Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) is an effective brominated flame-retardant additive,which is mainly produced in the coastal area of China.This study collected soil samples from a HBCD production plant and its surrounding area in Weifang,Shandong Province,China,and analyzed the temporal-spatial distribution of HBCD and its diastereoisomers in soil.The analysis results showed that the concentration of HBCD in soil near the plant was much higher than normal values,with an annual average concentration reaching 5405 ng/g.Soils 1,2 and 4 km away from the plant were also analyzed,showing that the concentration of HBCD in soil decreased accordingly with the distance from the pollution sources.In order to investigate the effect of the season on HBCD content,the soil samples were collected in all four seasons of the year 2017-2018.According to variations in the wind direction,the concentration of HBCD in soil was also changed.The distribution trend showed that the concentration of HBCD in soil in the downwind direction of the prevailing wind was higher than that in the upwind direction.In addition,this work analyzed the distribution of HBCD in vertical soil sections.It was found that the concentration of HBCD decreased with depth in the soil vertical profile.Finally,the various diastereoisomer patterns in the soil compartments were examined,finding that α-HBCD and γ-HBCD were the predominant diastereoisomers in the soil of the study area.
