Age and seasonal variability of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in free-ranging East Greenland polar bears ( Ursus maritimus)

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were analysed in adipose tissue from 92 East Greenland polar bears ( Ursus maritimus) sampled during 1999–2001. Mean ΣPBDE concentrations were 70 ng/g lipid weight (lw) (range: 22–192 ng/g lw) and showed no relationship with age or sex. Of the 32 analysed PBDE...
