Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and alternative brominated flame retardants in air and seawater of the European Arctic.

The spatial distribution of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and several alternative non-PBDE, non-regulated brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in air and seawater and the air-seawater exchange was investigated in East Greenland Sea using high-volume air and water samples. Total PBDE concentrations (Ó₁₀PBDEs) ranged from 0.09 to 1.8 pg m⁻³ in the atmosphere and from 0.03 to 0.64 pg L⁻¹ in...

Brominated Flame Retardants (PBDE and PBB) in Sludge – a Problem?

Preface In the autumn of 1999, the presence of brominated flame retardants in sewage sludge aroused medial attention in Sweden. As a result of this, LRF (The farmers organisation) recommended their members to renounce receiving and using sludge as a fertilizer. According to preliminary risk evaluations made at the same time, no obvious risk could be detected. VAV took the initiative to do a fur...
