Our top-down estimate of China's total methane emissions in 2019 is 56.05 ± 14.01 Tg/a, consistent with the range of 40-70 Tg/a reported in previous studies.

Emission fingerprints correlate with population density, indicating that anthropogenic activities drive stable, high-intensity emissions.

The concentrations of OPEs exhibited pronounced spatial heterogeneity, with elevated levels observed in highly industrialized and urbanized regions, particularly within the Pearl River Delta. Demersal species consistently showed higher OPEs burdens than pelagic species, highlighting the importance of benthic enrichment and sediment–biota interactions. Composition profiles indicated the dominance of chlorinated and alkyl OPEs, reflecting industrial emission sources. Dietary exposure and human health risks were evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation, accounting for variability and uncertainty in consumption rates and contaminant concentrations. Probabilistic risk assessment suggested generally low non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks for the general population, with TTHQ values consistently below 1 and carcinogenic risks (CR) predominantly within the range of 10<sup>−6</sup>–10<sup>−5</sup>, although higher exposure probabilities were identified for high seafood consumers. This province-scale investigation provides a comprehensive understanding of OPEs contamination patterns, benthic accumulation mechanisms, and associated dietary risks, offering critical insights for pollution control and seafood safety management in industrialized coastal regions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":356,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Management","volume":"406 ","pages":"Article 129786"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147758942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
