“…PBDEs are extensively used in various types of electronic equipment, furniture, plastics, textiles, etc. due to their excellent flame retardant performance (Leonel et al 2014). Since PBDEs can be easily incorporated into different materials and products without making any covalent bonds, they could transport and migrate to different environment through volatilization and effusion etc.…”

“…Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are a class of BFRs and man-made non-naturally occurring chemicals utilized extensively as additives in a wide variety of consumer products, such as electronic devices, vehicles, building materials, airplanes, ships, and furniture foam and upholstery. Owing to their environmental persistence and accumulation in adipose tissues, PBDEs are ubiquitous in the atmospheric environment (Chao et al, 2014a;Cincinelli et al, 2014;Zhou et al, 2014;Shy et al, 2015), in soils, sediments, and plants , water and fishes (Chokwe et al, 2015), and marine and terrestrial mammals (Leonel et al, 2014;Vetter et al, 2015). The animal studies showed that PBDEs disrupted thyroid function and spermatogenesis (Bowers et al, 2015;Huang et al, 2015), impaired mitochondrial function (Huang et al, 2015), induced hepatotoxicity (Ćurčić et al, 2015), caused developmental abnormalities (Berger et al, 2014), affects neurological behaviour (Costa and Giordano, 2011).…”

“…Concentrations of PBDEs were similar to those observed in cetaceans from the Northern Hemisphere and China . A time‐trend study between 1994 and 2005 in blubber samples of P. blainvillei from Rio Grande do Sul and São Paulo state showed an exponential increase of PBDE concentrations. This finding is similar to the results observed between 1989 and 1998 in the blubber from seals from San Francisco harbor ; however, some studies indicated a considerable decrease of PBDEs during the first decade of the 21st century in the fur seal from the Pacific coast of Japan .…”
