Accumulation, tissue-specific distribution and debromination of decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE 209) in European starlings ( Sturnus vulgaris)

In this study we investigated the accumulation, tissue-specific distribution and possible debromination of BDE 209 in a terrestrial songbird species, the European starling, using silastic implants as a method of exposure. BDE 209 accumulated in the blood of the exposed starlings to a mean peak conce...
