TLDR
The results revealed that PBDEs were not significantly degraded by biological treatment and chlorination in the STPs and might have ended up in the sewage sludge.About:

Advanced Morphological — Behavioral Test Platform Reveals Neurodevelopmental Defects in Embryonic Zebrafish Exposed to Comprehensive Suite of Halogenated and Organophosphate Flame Retardants
TL;DR: Evidence presented here indicates that zebrafish neurodevelopment is highly sensitive to many flame retardants currently in use and can be used to understand potential vulnerabilities to human health.

Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in sediments of the Pearl River Delta and adjacent South China Sea.
Bi-Xian Mai,She-Jun Chen,Xiao-Jun Luo,Laiguo Chen,Qingshu Yang,Guoying Sheng,Ping'an Peng,Jiamo Fu,Eddy Y. Zeng +8 more
TL;DR: Analyses of two short sediment cores collected from the Pearl River Estuary showed that concentrations of BDE-209 rapidly increased in the upper layers of both cores, coincident with the growth of the electronics manufacturing capacities in the PRD region.

Polybrominated diphenyl ether flame retardants in the North American environment.

TL;DR: Examination of available governmentally maintained release data suggests that Deca-BDE use in the US substantially exceeds that in Canada and Penta- BDE use probably follows a similar pattern, and PBDE concentrations in US and Canadian sewage sludges appear to be at least 10-fold greater than European levels and may be a useful barometer of release.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic chemicals in sewage sludges
TL;DR: Analysis of reported data shows that more data has been collected for certain chemical classes such as pesticides, PAHs and PCBs than for others that may pose greater risk such as nitrosamines, which reinforces the need for a survey of organic chemical contaminants in sewage sludges and for further assessment of the risks they pose.

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
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers in influents, suspended particulate matter, sediments, sewage treatment plant and effluents and biota from the Netherlands.
TL;DR: It was concluded that at least a small part of the PBDE can pass STPs and the tetra and pentaBDEs were found in biota.
