Abstract
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) are the main traditional brominated flame retardants (BFRs). Owing to the property of Semi-volatility, persistance, and mobility, they are all found in various environmental media and organisms all over the world. Toxicological studies have shown that PBDEs, HBCD, and TBBPA not only exhibited obvious biological toxicity and carcinogenicity, but also posed potential harm to the ecological environment and human. This paper briefly summarized the current status of PBDEs, HBCD, and TBBPA in the environment, and discussed the level, distribution, exposure routes and toxicity of three traditional BFRs in non-living organisms (dust, water, soil, sediment, sludge) and living organisms (plants, animals, and humans). In addition, the problems existing in nowadays research were mentioned. Finally, a preliminary outlook for future research on PBDEs, HBCD, and TBBPA was presented.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Chemistry publishes manuscripts addressing the chemistry of the environment (air, water, earth, and biota), including the behaviour and impacts of contaminants and other anthropogenic disturbances. The scope encompasses atmospheric chemistry, geochemistry and biogeochemistry, climate change, marine and freshwater chemistry, polar chemistry, fire chemistry, soil and sediment chemistry, and chemical aspects of ecotoxicology. Papers that take an interdisciplinary approach, while advancing our understanding of the linkages between chemistry and physical or biological processes, are particularly encouraged.
While focusing on the publication of important original research and timely reviews, the journal also publishes essays and opinion pieces on issues of importance to environmental scientists, such as policy and funding.
Papers should be written in a style that is accessible to those outside the field, as the readership will include - in addition to chemists - biologists, toxicologists, soil scientists, and workers from government and industrial institutions. All manuscripts are rigorously peer-reviewed and professionally copy-edited.
Environmental Chemistry is published with the endorsement of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Australian Academy of Science.
