TLDR
Eight commonly occurring polybrominated diphenyl ethers, including BDE 28, 47, 99, 100, 153, 154, 183, 207, and 209 were investigated in water samples from seven major inflowing rivers of Lake Chaohu to determine the distribution characteristics, potential sources and inputs to the lake.About:

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs): A review on environmental contamination in China
TL;DR: Existing literature on the contamination status of BFRs in abiotic and biotic environments in China, including polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), hexabromocyclodododecane, tetrabromobisphenol A and new B FRs are compiled and reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The occurrence and distribution of antibiotics in Lake Chaohu, China: Seasonal variation, potential source and risk assessment
TL;DR: The results of risk assessment of the antibiotics on aquatic organisms suggested that sulfamethoxazole, ofloxacin, ciprofloxac in the surface water of Lake Chaohu and inflowing rivers might pose a high risk to algae and plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers in the environment and human external and internal exposure in China: A review
TL;DR: The occurrences and contamination of PBDEs in air, water, sediment, soil, biota and daily food, human blood, hair, and other human tissues in China are comprehensively reviewed and the human exposure pathways and associated health risks are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pollution profiles and risk assessment of PBDEs and phenolic brominated flame retardants in water environments within a typical electronic waste dismantling region
TL;DR: Risk assessments indicated that the water and sediment across the sampling sites posed no estrogenic risk, however, different eco-toxicity risk degrees at three trophic levels did exist at most sampling sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
The occurrence of polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) contamination in soil, water/sediment, and air
TL;DR: Recent findings on the occurrence, contamination status, and transport of PBDEs in soil, water/sediment, and air are highlighted.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial reductive debromination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).
TL;DR: Debromination of deca-BDE and an octa- BDE mixture is demonstrated with anaerobic bacteria including Sulfurospirillum multivorans and Dehalococcoides species, and the more toxic hexa-154, penta-99, tetra-49, and teta-47 were identified among the debromination products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brominated flame retardant concentrations and trends in abiotic media.
TL;DR: In general, environmental concentrations of BDE-209 appear to be increasing, while penta-BDE burdens in Europe may have peaked, while sediments function as longer-term integrators of environmental burdens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar photodecomposition of decabromodiphenyl ether: products and quantum yield.
TL;DR: The reaction rate and products of the solar degradation under favorable solvent conditions were determined in this study and the wavelength average quantum yield for BDE209 photoreaction, phiave, was calculated to be 0.47.

TL;DR: High concentrations of an environmentally persistent class of organic pollutants, brominated diphenyl ethers (BDEs), in 'biosolids' from four different regions of the United States suggest that the environmental consequences of land application of biosolids need further investigation.
