Brominated flame retardants in the Arctic environment- trends and new candidates. Sei. Total Environ
In a previous review of this topic, results from studies up to mid-2005 showed that several brominated flame retardants (BFRs) such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs, including BDE-209), hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) were reaching the Arctic (de Wit et al. 20...

Summary: | In a previous review of this topic, results from studies up to mid-2005 showed that several brominated flame retardants (BFRs) such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs, including BDE-209), hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) were reaching the Arctic (de Wit et al. 2006). Spatial trends of PBDEs and HBCD in top predators such as polar bears were similar to |
