Description
Summary:The dataset includes concentrations of emerging brominated flame retardants (EBFR) and organophosphate esters (OPEs) in marine wildlife from the Norwegian Arctic. In addition, a list of compound names, abbreviations and CAS numbers are given. Concentrations of EBFRs were determined for 157 tissue samples from nine species of marine vertebrates. The samples include blubber from blue whales, fin whales, humpback whales, white whales, killer whales, walruses, and ringed seals, adipose tissue and plasma from polar bears, and adipose tissue from glaucous gulls. OPEs were determined in 34 blubber samples from three whale species (blue whales, fin whales, white whales). The tissue samples were collected in or around the Svalbard Archipelago (76.54-80.68 N, 9.26-23.54 E) and in coastal waters off northern Norway (70.01-70.05 N, 21.90-21.02 E).
