We have examined several emerging brominated flame retardants (BFRs) including 2-ethyl-
1-hexyl-2, 3, 4, 5-tetrabromobenzoate (TBB), bis (2-ethylhexyl) tetrabromophthalate (TBPH) …

The paper reviews the subject literature concerning analytical procedures routinely sed for
monitoring polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) in environmental samples. It describes …

Endocrine‐disruptor compounds (EDCs) can mimic natural hormones and produce adverse
effects in the endocrine functions by interacting with estrogen receptors. EDCs include both …

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are heterogenous in structure, chemical and
physical properties, and their capacity to partition into various environmental matrixes. In …

While previous studies have found that unknown natural and synthetic organo-bromine
compounds (NSOBCs) contributed more than 99% of the total organic bromine (Br) in the …
