Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been widely used as flame retardants. The
structurally related hydroxylated PBDEs (OH-PBDEs) and methoxylated PBDEs (MeO …

Brominated compounds are ubiquitous in the aquatic environment. The polybrominated
diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants are anthropogenic compounds of concern. Studies …

Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs), also called
brominated diphenyl oxides, are produced and used as flame retardants. There are …

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), extensively used as flame retardants, are
ubiquitous environmental contaminants that are found in both abiotic and biotic …

Because of their highly effective flame-retardant capability, polybrominated diphenyl ethers
(PBDEs) have been extensively used as flame retardants in consumer goods. However …

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been extensively used as flame retardants in
consumer goods. Sufficient evidence shows that PBDEs have been rapidly accumulating in …

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are used as flame retardants in polymeric
materials such as furnishing foam, rigid plastics and textiles. The US has historically led the …

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are used as flame retardants in many types of
consumer products. Perhaps as a result of their widespread use and their lipophilicity, these …

North America consumes over half of the world's production of polybrominated diphenyl
ether (PBDE) flame retardants. About 98% of global demand for the Penta-BDE mixture, the …

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), which are used extensively as brominated flame
retardants, are found ubiquitously in marine environments worldwide. In this paper, we …
