New brominated flame retardants and dechlorane plus in the Arctic: Local sources and bioaccumulation potential in marine benthos
The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence and bioaccumulation of new flame retardants (nBFRs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and dechlorane plus (DDC-CO) in the marine environment close to an Arctic community. Passive sampling of air and water and grab sampling of sedimen...
