HBCDs in the top predator Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus) from Greenland seawaters
Introduction Hexabromocyclododecane (1,2,5,6,9,10-hexabromocyclododecane, HBCD) is a brominated flame retardant (BFR) consisting of 16 possible isomers, three of them (α-, β-and γ-HBCD) are the main components in the commercial mixtures 1. The Greenland shark Somniosus microcephalus is a top predato...
