Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Concentration of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in the environment is increasing rapidly, and PBDEs are detected in human body, which is becoming a global environmental contaminant. The properties, analytical method, distribution and tendency as well as regulation of PBDEs in environment were introduced, with a focus on the behavior in water environment.
