Journal ArticleDOI
Phosphorus flame retardants: Properties, production, environmental occurrence, toxicity and analysis
Ike van der Veen,Jacob de Boer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of PFRs as potential substitutes for brominated flame retardants (BFRs) has been discussed and a number of potential alternatives for BFRs have been proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Levels and trends of brominated flame retardants in the European environment.

TL;DR: The input of BDEs to the Baltic Sea by atmospheric deposition now exceeds that of PCBs by a factor of almost 40 times, and a common suite is suggested which will allow the study of all three commercial PBDE formulations.
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
Distribution and Fate of HBCD and TBBPA Brominated Flame Retardants in North Sea Estuaries and Aquatic Food Webs
Steven Morris,C.R. Allchin,Bart N. Zegers,Joris J.-H. Haftka,Jan P. Boon,Claude Belpaire,Pim E.G. Leonards,Stefan P.J. van Leeuwen,Jacob de Boer +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence of HBCD bioaccumulation at the trophic level and biomagnification in the ascending aquatic food chain is shown, and these findings justify risk assessment studies at the ecosystem level.
Journal ArticleDOI
An integrated assessment of estrogenic contamination and biological effects in the aquatic environment of The Netherlands
A. Dick Vethaak,Joost Lahr,S. Marca Schrap,A.C. Belfroid,G.B.J. Rijs,A.A.M. Gerritsen,Jacob de Boer,Astrid S. Bulder,Guy C. M. Grinwis,Raoul V. Kuiper,Juliette Legler,Tinka A.J. Murk,Willie J.G.M. Peijnenburg,Henk J. M. Verhaar,Pim de Voogt +14 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that hormones (especially 17 alpha-ethynylestradiol) and possibly also nonylphenol(ethoxylate)s are primarily responsible for these effects of feminizing effects in male fish.
