Journal ArticleDOI
Novel brominated flame retardants : A review of their analysis, environmental fate and behaviour
Adrian Covaci,Stuart Harrad,Mohamed Abou-Elwafa Abdallah,Nadeem Ali,Robin J. Law,Dorte Herzke,Cynthia A. de Wit +6 more
TL;DR: This review summarises current knowledge about production volumes, physico-chemical properties, analysis, environmental occurrence, fate and behaviour and human exposure to the "novel" brominated flame retardants (NBFRs).
Journal ArticleDOI
Levels and trends of brominated flame retardants in the European environment.
Robin J. Law,C.R. Allchin,Jacob de Boer,Adrian Covaci,Dorte Herzke,Peter Lepom,Steven Morris,Jacek Tronczynski,Cynthia A. de Wit +8 more
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
Levels and trends of polybrominated diphenylethers and other brominated flame retardants in wildlife
TL;DR: The detection of PBDEs in pelagic marine mammals which feed in deep offshore waters, including baleen whales, indicate that these compounds have found their way into deep-water, oceanic food webs as well as the coastal/shallow sea examples described in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel abbreviation standard for organobromine, organochlorine and organophosphorus flame retardants and some characteristics of the chemicals
Åke Bergman,Andreas Rydén,Robin J. Law,Jacob de Boer,Adrian Covaci,Mehran Alaee,Linda S. Birnbaum,Myrto Petreas,Martin Rose,Shin-ichi Sakai,Nele Van den Eede,Ike van der Veen +11 more
TL;DR: Approximate abbreviations for flame retardants (FRs) substituted with bromine or chlorine atoms or including a functional group containing phosphorus, i.e. BFRs, CFRs and PFRs are proposed.
