Accumulation of PBDEs and MeO-PBDEs in notothenioid fish from the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica: An interspecies comparative study

Determination of 25 polybrominated diphenyl ethers in Chinese mitten crab ecosystems by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

“…12,13 The PBDE contamination in the aquatic system is the most critical because the sediment and water are sinks of many POPs and aquatic organisms could bioaccumulate POPs in feed and the environment. 14,15 A growing number of studies have shown that consumption of aquatic products is the main source of human exposure to PBDEs. [16][17][18] Therefore, it is vital to monitor the PBDE content in aquatic products and their ecosystems ranging from the growing environment to edible feed, which is helpful to evaluate the main pollution routes and PBDEs for food safety of aquatic products.…”
