Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are recognized neurotoxicants, but the extent to
which PBDEs influence various domains of behavior in children is not fully understood. As …

Birds are considered as good bio-monitors and they can provide highly valuable data about
the level of contamination in their habitat. During the design of biomonitoring studies one of …

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 …

This biennial Review covers developments in environmental mass spectrometry for
emerging environmental contaminants over the period of 2010À2011. Analytical Chemistry's …

This review summarizes the most relevant information on PBDEs' occurrence and their
impacts in cetaceans at global scale, with special attention on the species with the highest …

Although it has been suggested that plastic may act as a vector for pollutants into the tissue
of seabirds, the bioaccumulation of harmful contaminants, such as polybrominated diphenyl …

This study investigated the occurrence of a comprehensive suite of polybrominated diphenyl
ethers (PBDEs) and current-use flame retardants (FRs) in ring-billed gulls breeding in a …

Abstract Decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) was one of most widely-used polybrominated
diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants and is frequently detected in both abiotic and biotic …

Given factors such as their persistence and toxicity, legacy brominated flame retardants
(BFRs) like polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and hexabromocyclododecane …

Abstract Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are a global threat, but impacts of these
chemicals upon remote areas such as Antarctica remain unclear. Penguins can be useful …
