Concentrations and spatial variations of polybrominated diphenyl ethers and other organohalogen compounds in Great Lakes air.
TL;DR: Air samples were analyzed from urban, rural, and remote sites near the Great Lakes to investigate the occurrence, concentrations, and spatial and temporal differences of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) in air, indicating that these compounds are widely distributed and that they can be transported through the atmosphere to remote areas.
