Journal ArticleDOI
Hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs) in the environment and humans: a review.
Adrian Covaci,Andreas C. Gerecke,Robin J. Law,Stefan Voorspoels,Martin Kohler,Norbert V. Heeb,Heather A. Leslie,Collin R. Allchin,Jacob de Boer +8 more
TL;DR: HBCD levels in biota are increasing slowly and seem to reflect the local market demand, but time trends need to be analyzed more in detail, including HBCD stereoisomers, and more data on terrestrial organisms are needed, especially for humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the environmental fate and effects of hazardous substances released from electrical and electronic equipments during recycling: Examples from China and India
Alejandra Sepúlveda,Mathias Schluep,Fabrice G. Renaud,Martin Streicher,Ruediger Kuehr,Christian Hagelüken,Andreas C. Gerecke +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present data found in the scientific and grey literature about concentrations of lead (Pb), polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated dioxins and furans as well as poly brominated doxins and derivatives (PCDD/Fs and PBDD/Fs) monitored in various environmental compartments in China and India, two countries where informal WEEE recycling plays an important economic role.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic Degradation of Decabromodiphenyl Ether
Andreas C. Gerecke,Paul C. Hartmann,Norbert V. Heeb,Hans-Peter E. Kohler,Walter Giger,Peter Schmid,Markus Zennegg,Martin Kohler +7 more
TL;DR: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating microbially mediated reductive debromination of BDE-209 under anaerobic conditions and formation of octa- and nonabromodiphenyl ether congeners.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic degradation of brominated flame retardants in sewage sludge.
Andreas C. Gerecke,Walter Giger,Paul C. Hartmann,Norbert V. Heeb,Hans-Peter E. Kohler,Peter Schmid,Markus Zennegg,Martin Kohler +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the degradation of TBBPA, hexabromocyclodecane (HBCD), and decabromodiphenyl ether (DecaBDE) under anaerobic conditions in digested sewage sludge was studied and compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sources of pesticides in surface waters in Switzerland: pesticide load through waste water treatment plants--current situation and reduction potential.
Andreas C. Gerecke,Michael Schärer,Heinz Singer,Stephan R. Müller,René P. Schwarzenbach,Martin Sägesser,Ueli Ochsenbein,Gabriel Popow +7 more
TL;DR: These measurements revealed that in the catchment of Lake Greifensee, farmers who did not perfectly comply with 'good agricultural practice' caused at least 14% of the measured agricultural herbicide load into surface waters.
