Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers(PBDEs) as a class of emerging POPs gradually drew environmental researchers′ attention now.In this paper,PBDEs in various environmental media,as well as the organisms,and in the human body are reviewed.Results showed that PBDEs pollution in China was at a relatively low level compared with other countries.However,PBDEs pollution in the E-waste dismantling areas,sush as Guiyu and Taizhou,was extraordinarily high.Future studies on PBDEs are emphasized in the end of this paper.
