Brominated flame retardants and dechloranes in eels from German Rivers
The levels of PBDEs, alternate BFRs and dechloranes in European Eel (. Anguilla anguilla) samples (elvers, yellow and silver eels) were investigated to compare the contamination of eels from the rivers Elbe and Rhine and to estimate the BFR contamination throughout the eel's life cycle.PBDEs we...
