Bromophenols, both present in marine organisms and in industrial flame retardants, disturb cellular Ca2+ signaling in neuroendocrine cells (PC12).
Bromophenols are present in polychaetes as well as in algae in marine environments including the North Sea. They are thought to cause the typical sea-like taste and flavour. The ecological function of brominated phenols is not clear yet, but they may play a role in chemical defence and deterrence [Kicklighter, C.E., Kubaneck, J., Hay, M.E., 2004. Do brominated natural products defend marine wor...
متن کاملBrominated Flame Retardants in North-East Atlantic Marine Ecosystems
BACKGROUND Concentrations of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are reported to increase in marine ecosystems. OBJECTIVES Characterize exposure to BFRs in animals from different trophic levels in North-East Atlantic coastal marine ecosystems along a latitudinal gradient from southern Norway to Spitsbergen, Svalbard, in the Arctic. Calanoid species were collected from the Oslofjord (59 degrees...

متن کاملOccurrence of additive brominated flame retardants in aquatic organisms from Tai Lake and Yangtze River in Eastern China, 2009-2012.
Since the phase-out of PBDEs, reports regarding occurrences of these compounds in the environment have become less frequent. To characterize potential influences of the phase-out of PBDEs' on concentrations in the environment, trends in concentrations as a function of time were investigated for two additive brominated flame retardants, PBDEs and HBCDs. Three aquatic species, including shrimp, c...
متن کاملBrominated 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...
