Halogenated flame retardants have been a serious concern to health and environmental
scientists. This chapter reviews the availability of alternative fire retardants, and describes …

Previous studies have suggested that there may be species-specific differences in the
metabolism of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) among different fish species. In this …

The health effects of the flame retardant polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in fish are
not well understood. To determine the potential effects of this ubiquitous contaminant class …

This study examined the rate of survival for hatchery-reared, ocean-type juvenile Chinook
salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) to the adult life stage in relation to contamination status …

Fishes have been widely used as a representative to estimate the health of an aquatic
ecosystem. In the present study, Labeo rohita was selected for biomarker study against …

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) account for the second largest market group of flame
retardants currently in use. Since their detection in wildlife samples collected far from local …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants that
are widely monitored in marine biota from urbanized areas, due to their toxicity to aquatic …

Among the populations of Pacific salmon and steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss (anadromous
Rainbow Trout) that inhabit the Columbia River basin there are currently 13 Evolutionarily …

Endocrine disruptors (EDs) from three chemical classes—polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs),
polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and phthalates—were investigated in the Seine …

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been used as flame-retardants in consumer
products and are currently detected in salmon globally. The two most predominant PBDE …
