Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) in Human Milk from Australia
TL;DR: The results suggest that the exposure pathways which contribute to the PBDE body burden in the Australian population require a better understanding in order to determine future policy regarding their use and disposal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fate, distribution, and contrasting temporal trends of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in Lake Ontario, Canada

TL;DR: Lake Ontario water and sediment collected from tributary, nearshore, and open lake sites were analyzed for perfluoroalkyl substances and indicated that shorter chained PFASs were predominant in and near urban/industrial area watersheds, while longer chained PF as well as three sediment cores showed increasing temporal trends to surface sediment for allPFASs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dechloranes 602, 603, 604, Dechlorane Plus, and Chlordene Plus, a Newly Detected Analogue, in Tributary Sediments of the Laurentian Great Lakes

TL;DR: A chlorinated compound (Chlordene Plus, CP), structurally related to Dechloranes (Dec) 602, 603, 604, and Dechlorane Plus (DP), was identified, and concentrations and spatial trends in tributary sediments of the Laurentian Great Lakes are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in surface area and concentrations of semivolatile organic contaminants in aging snow.
TL;DR: While surface area decreases clearly contribute to the loss of semivolatile organic compounds from metamorphosing snowpacks, other confounding factors play a role in determining concentration changes, in particular in wet snow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence and sources of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls in surficial sediments of Lakes Superior and Huron.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported that industrial inputs mainly associated with wood treatment plants, pulp and paper mills, mining operations, and chlorine-based chemical manufacturing also contributed to contamination by PCDD/Fs and DLPCBs in certain nearshore and offshore areas of Lakes Superior and Huron.
