Summary
Abstract: Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) are, together with PAHs, between the substances being considered for inclusion in the Stockholm Convention other than the so called dirty dozen. Researchers measured brominated diphenyl ethers (BDEs), organic compounds produced for use as flame retardants and exactly BDE-47, -99, and -100, in sea ice algae and water column plankton, collected in the Palmer ...
