Brominated Flame Retardants in Glaucous Gulls from the Norwegian Arctic:  More Than Just an Issue of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers

Several, unregulated, current-use brominated flame retardants (BFRs), including hexabromobenzene (HBB), 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethane (BTBPE), pentabromoethylbenzene (PBEB), pentabromotoluene (PBT), and hexabromocyclododecane (as total-(α)-HBCD), were examined in egg yolk and plasma of male a...

Also examined were BDE209 and 38 tri- to nona-BDE congeners and brominated biphenyl (BB) 101. The HBB, BTBPE, PBEB, and PBT had high detection frequencies and variability in male and female plasma and egg yolk samples, and their concentrations ranged from nondetectable (

The HBB, BTBPE, PBEB, and PBT had high detection frequencies and variability in male and female plasma and egg yolk samples, and their concentrations ranged from nondetectable (&lt;0.02−0.27 ng/g wet wt) to 2.64 ng/g wet wt. The detection frequencies and range of concentrations of non-BDE BFRs were generally highest in plasma of males relative to females. Total-(α)-HBCD concentrations were highest among the non-PBDE BFRs (up to 6.12 and 63.9 ng/g wet wt in plasma and egg yolk, respectively). Next highest was HBB with concentrations within a range comparable to the minor PBDEs monitored (e.g., BDE28, 116 and 155). Sum (Σ)38PBDE concentrations ranged from 2.49 to 54.5 ng/g wet wt in plasma and 81.2 to 321 ng/g wet wt in egg yolk. The BDE209 was virtually nondetectable, whereas six octa-BDEs (i.e., BDE196, 197, 201, 202, 203, and 205), as well as three nona-BDEs (i.e., BDE206, 207, and 208, and potential BDE209 debromination products) were found sporadically in plasma and egg yolk. The results from this study suggest that in addition to PBDEs, several current-use, non-BDE BFRs undergo long-range atmospheric transport and bioaccumulate at low levels in and are maternally transferred (to eggs) in glaucous gulls from the Norwegian Arctic.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0013-936X</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1520-5851</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1021/es070522f</identifier><identifier>PMID: 17711204</identifier><identifier>CODEN: ESTHAG</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Washington, DC: American Chemical Society</publisher><subject>Animal, plant and microbial ecology ; Animals ; Applied ecology ; Arctic Regions ; Atmosphere ; Aves ; Biological and medical sciences ; Birds ; Chemical compounds ; Contamination ; Ecotoxicology, biological effects of pollution ; Effects of pollution and side effects of pesticides on vertebrates ; Environmental science ; Female ; Females ; Flame retardants ; Flame Retardants - analysis ; Food chains ; Fundamental and applied biological sciences.
