“…For example, manufacturers in the US discontinued the production of octa-and penta-PBDE in 2004. 2 PBDEs are additive ame retardants, which implies that they can easily volatilize or leach from their parent products to the surrounding environment. This 'leaching' can start as early as the day of manufacture, and it generally increases with time as the parent product ages and degrades.…”
PBDEs have been studied in varying species of birds from a variety of ecosystems, however, few of these studies have focused particularly on scavenger bird species. It is important to...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
