Sample types were herring gull egg (n = 3), blue mussel (n = 3) and eelpout filet (n = 3) from the German North- and Baltic Sea, bream filet (n = 7), zebra mussel (n = 6) and suspended particulate matter (SPM, n = 7) from German freshwater ecosystems as well as tree leaves (n = 9)/shoots (n = 10), soil (n = 4), earthworm (n = 4) and deer liver (n = 7) as representatives of German terrestrial ecosystems.

The presence in Arctic and Antarctic fish samples confirms their long-range transport potential. Average concentrations of total emerging HFR were highest in SPM (26 ng g−1 dry weight (dw)), zebra mussel (10 ng g−1 dw) and herring gull egg (2.6 ng g−1 dw). Lowest levels were measured in fish filet samples from Antarctica (0.02 ng g−1 dw). Average total PBDE concentrations were highest in bream filet (154 ng g−1), herring gull egg (61 ng g−1 dw), SPM (21 ng g−1 dw), and zebra mussel 18 (ng g−1) and lowest in deer liver (0.04 ng g−1 dw). The patterns of non-fauna terrestrial samples (leaves, shoots, soil) as well as SPM were dominated by DBDPE and BDE209. Elevated proportions of DPTE and in most cases the absence of DBDPE characterized all fauna samples with the exception of Polar samples. Overall, emerging HFR appeared to be less bioaccumulative than PBDE. Temporal trends were generally decreasing with few exceptions such as DBDPE. 253 Article in Journal/Newspaper Antarc* Antarctic Antarctica Arctic Publikationsdatenbank der Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Arctic Antarctic Environmental Pollution 253 850 863 |
