Linfen is generally recognized as one of the most polluted industrial cities in China. Indeed, Linfen is affected by heavy polluting industries and faces pollution by polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). For this study, ten surface soil samples covering all of Linfen were collected and analyzed for 42 BDE congeners. The total PBDEs concentration ranged from 0.064 to 136.1 ng g−1. Moreover, source analysis indicated that PBDEs may be associated with the prevalent use of Deca-BDE in the industrial area of the city. Furthermore, higher levels of PBDE contamination were observed in south Linfen due to the distribution of industrial plants.
