Comparative effects of oral exposure to 2, 4, 6-tribromophenol and decabromodiphenyl ether in Nile tilapia

Assessment of the contamination by 2,4,6-tribromophenol of marine waters and organisms exposed to chlorination discharges

“…Recent studies revealed that TBP induced acute and chronic toxic effects to freshwater adult fish O. niloticus after oral exposures down to 5 ng g -1 (Folle et al, 2021) and even 0.5 ng g -1 (Oliveira Ribeiro et al, 2021). In the present study, average levels were much higher in the tissues of marine biota from the Gulf of Fos (Table 1), thus consisting in a significant environmental risk to other organisms, and suggesting that TBP contamination could extend through the whole food chain in the Gulf of Fos.…”
