The cheap metal Cu particles in-situ loaded on TiO 2 surface is able to co-catalyze the
photocatalytic debromination of polybrominated pollutants. Over 15 times of enhancement …

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were extensively investigated in water, sediment,
and biota samples collected from Chaohu Lake basin in China. The total concentrations of …

Pentabrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants have been phased out in Europe
