“…Recent investigations have shown that they persist in the environment. [22][23][24][25] To understand the property of each bromine compound in such applications, the authors measured the XANES spectra of an aqueous solution of NaBr and NaBrO3 as being representative of the basic bromine compounds, and determined the local electronic structures and the chemical states of the bromine compounds in aqueous solution compared with corresponding crystalline compounds.…”

Recent progress of the XANES (X-ray absorption near-edge structure) spectral analysis methods for the structure characterization of metal complexes (MC) in solution is reviewed. Typical examples showing the scheme of the apparatus for XAFS (X-ray absorption fine structure) data collection, preparation and handling of solution samples, data treatment and analysis for XANES spectra, and future of XANES spectroscopy are presented. Detailed examples for the apparatus developed for laboratory scale spectrometers for XANES together with a combined spectral analyses using multi scattering method (MS) and molecular orbital (MO) calculation are discussed.

“…Notably, they were found in top predators, such as the harbor seal and in the sperm whale; the latter finding indicates that PBDEs also occur in deep-sea food chains [8].…”

“…In environmental samples, trace amounts of brominated flame retardants have usually been determined by GC with electron capture detection (ECD) [27,30,34], GC-MS with electron ionization [5,14,27], GC-ECMS [6,7,18,28,29,35] or GC-high resolution-MS [36,37].…”
