Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) serve as brominated flame retardants when added
to various products. When these products reach their end of life, a large amount of domestic …

As a consequence of substantial, long-term usage, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs)
have contaminated humans, wildlife, and abiotic matrices around the world. Although …

Our previous study suggested the transfer of polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame
retardants from ingested plastics to seabirds' tissues. To understand how the PBDEs are …

Background Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are flame-retardant chemicals that
accumulate in human tissues and are potential toxicants. Concentrations of PBDEs in …

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been measured in the home environment
and in humans, but studies linking environmental levels to body burdens are limited. This …

Of the 13, current-use, non-polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants (FRs)
monitored, hexabromobenzene (HBB), pentabromoethylbenzene (PBEB) …

This paper reviews recent studies on human exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers
(PBDEs) in China, with particular focus on external exposure routes (eg diet and dust …

A trophic position (TP) model (TPmix model) that simultaneously considered trophic
discrimination factor and βGlu/Phe variations was developed in this study and was first …

Persistent halogenated compounds (PHCs), such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and its
metabolites (DDTs), hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs), polychlorinated biphenyls …

The production and use of nonpolybrominated diphenyl ether (non-PBDE), brominated
flame retardant (BFR) alternatives have been on the rise, although their assessment in …
