Gas chromatography retention data of environmentally relevant polybrominated compounds.

Polybrominated organic compounds are ubiquitous throughout the environment. This generic term comprises several classes of brominated flame retardants (e.g., polybrominated diphenyl ethers, polybrominated biphenyls, hexabromocyclododecane, dibromopropyltribromophenyl ether, 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethane) as well as a range of marine halogenated natural products (HNPs). Here we present ga...

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers in marine ecosystems of the American continents: foresight from current knowledge.

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are a class of synthetic halogenated organic compounds used in commercial and household products, such as textiles, furniture, and electronics, to increase their flame ignition resistance and to meet fire safety standards. The demonstrated persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxic potential of these compounds in animals and in humans are of increasing concer...

Fluorescence techniques for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in marine environment: an overview

PAHs are a class of organic compounds, which are included in the wider family of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs). These compounds have shown carcinogenic and/or mutagenic activity in laboratory experiments with animals. PACs are generally formed during incomplete combustion or pyrolysis of organic matter occurring in a variety of natural processes or human activities. Consequently, PAHs ar...
