Journal ArticleDOI
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the freshwater aquatic environment
Anekwe Jennifer Ebele,Mohamed Abou-Elwafa Abdallah,Mohamed Abou-Elwafa Abdallah,Stuart Harrad +3 more
TL;DR: A review of the current state-of-the-art on PPCPs in the freshwater aquatic environment is presented in this article, where the environmental risk posed by these contaminants is evaluated in light of the persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity criteria.
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
Concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls in indoor air and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in indoor air and dust in Birmingham, United Kingdom: implications for human exposure.
TL;DR: Comparison of UK and Canadian estimates of absolute exposure to sigmaBDE suggest that differences in dust contamination are the likely cause of higher PBDE body burdens in North Americans compared to Europeans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concentrations and sources of VOCs in urban domestic and public microenvironments.
TL;DR: In poorly ventilated buildings-indoor emission source strength is considered a more significant influence on VOC concentrations than infiltration of outdoor air, and in six smoking homes studied, environmental tobacco smoke was found to make a substantial contribution to concentrations of 1,3-butadiene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analytical and environmental aspects of the flame retardant tetrabromobisphenol-A and its derivatives.
Adrian Covaci,Stefan Voorspoels,Mohamed Abou-Elwafa Abdallah,Tinne Geens,Stuart Harrad,Robin J. Law +5 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the analytical and environmental aspects of tetrabromobisphenol-A, a currently intensively used brominated flame retardant (BFR), finds environmental levels of TBBP-A in abiotic and biotic matrices are low and the expected human exposure is low.
