PBDEs (congeners 28, 47, 99, 100, 153, 154, 183, 209), HBCD (α, β, γ), emerging brominated flame retardants (PBEB, HBB and DBDPE), dechloranes (Dec 602, 603, 604,, TBBPA, 2,4,6-TBP and MeO-PBDEs (8 congeners) were analysed in commercial seafood samples from European countries. Levels were similar to literature and above the environmental quality standards (EQS) limit of the Directive 2013/39/EU for PBDEs.Contaminants were found in 90.5 % of the seafood samples at n. d.-356 ng/g lw (n. d.-41.1 ng/g ww). DBDPE was not detected and 2,4,6-TBP was detected only in mussels, but at levels comparable to those of PBDEs. Mussel and seabream were the most contaminated species and the Mediterranean Sea (FAO Fishing Area 37) was the most contaminated location. The risk assessment revealed that there was no health risk related to the exposure to brominated flame retardants via seafood consumption. However, a refined risk assessment for BDE-99 is of interest in the future. Moreover, the cooking process concentrated PBDEs and HBB.

“…[19,42] PBDE concentration in the North America and in Brazil is very high compared to European levels. However, our data are in good agreement with those reported by Liu et al [43] from Hong Kong marine waters in which green-lipped (Psychotria viridis) mussels as biomonitors were investigated.…”

“…Despite the differences in PBDEs levels, it appears that in environmental samples tetra-and pentacongeners are prevalent on a worldwide basis. [19] As BDE-47 was found to be the most abundant congener in all mussel samples examined, it is postulated that this phenomenon may be due to the high bioaccumulation index of BDE-47 in biota. [14] The only mussel PBDE study from Italy focused on Zebra mussels from Lake Maggiore (Italy), [16] in which the total PBDE concentrations ranged from 4.4 to 51.9 ng/g dw with BDE-47 as the dominant congener.…”

“…In this article, the so-called pressurized/accelerated solvent extraction method was employed to extract PBDEs from mussel samples because this low-consuming solvent extraction system has been successfully applied to a wide variety of other samples.

Samples of Mytilus galloprovincialis were examined to investigate the levels of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in the Apulia's marine environment, a region in the South of Italy. The levels of nine PBDE congeners were measured in 40 mussel samples taken from the aquaculture farms in the South of Adriatic Sea and North Ionian Sea along the Apulia coast. While accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) was the extraction technique adopted using acetone/n-hexane (1:1, v/v), the content of PBDEs was evaluated by using gas chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS) via electron ionization (EI) in the multiple ion monitoring (MIM) mode (two ions for each compound). The (13)C mass-labeled compounds were used to establish the levels of PBDEs in M. galloprovincialis samples. The total concentration of PBDEs (ΣPBDEs) ranged from 0.2 to 6.9 ng/g dry mass, with the highest concentrations found around coastal areas of Salento. With regard to the composition of PBDE congeners, BDE-47, BDE-99 and BDE-100 were the predominant congeners in most of the samples. The present study is the first to report levels of PBDEs occurring in aquatic organisms living in aquaculture farms of Apulia region.

“…Comparing PBDE concentrations in this study with those in bivalves from other Asian countries (China, Hong Kong, Japan, Philippines, Vietnam, Korea and India) (Ramu et al 2007) and European countries (France, Greenland, UK) (Christensen et al 2002;Johansson et 2006; Fernandes et al 2008) and North America country (USA) (Oros et al 2005), it was found that PBDE levels in mussel tissues from coastal waters of Asia were comparable or higher than those reported for mussel tissues from Europe but lower than mussels from the USA. The mussels in USA were the highest, which was about 5 times higher than our data.…”

To evaluate the contamination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in marine organisms of the northern Yellow Sea of China, mollusks, wild shrimps and crabs were collected from the Yantai coast and ten PBDE congeners levels in the samples were analyzed and compared. The results indicate all the samples have been contaminated by PBDEs and PBDEs concentrations varied in individual species and in sampling sites. The concentration range of P PBDEs in the samples was 0.23-10.56 ng/g d.w. below the national edible criteria 40 ng/g d.w.. Congener compositions were mainly dominated by BDE 209.Keywords Northern Yellow Sea Á Polybrominated diphenyl ethers Á Pollution monitoring Á Seafood Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are a group of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) widely used in plastics, textiles, electronics and other materials, and have attracted widespread scientific and regulatory attention. PBDEs have some physicochemical properties similar to other persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which are known to bioaccumulate in the environment (de Bruyn et al. 2009;Hites 2004). Concentration of PBDEs in biota is estimated to have been doubling every 5 years and was reported to have increased by 60-fold in human breast milk in Sweden between 1972 and 1997(Meironyte et al. 1999). PBDE's have been shown to be increasing more slowly in Europe and North America following the withdrawl of penta-and octa-BDEs' use and production (Pan et al. 2011). In China however, both production and consumption of BFRs including some PBDE products have risen rapidly in recent years. Marine organisms can accumulate contaminants from their environment and food chain and some of them can be used to indicate the pollutant levels. Therefore, it is important to evaluate PBDEs content and monitor their accumulation in the marine environment and organisms for seafood safety and the health of consumers.Sishili Bay (SB) is an important shallow cultivation area in northern Yellow Sea, China, which is subject to the intense human activity from the surrounded city of Yantai. Over the last decades, the rapid industrialization, urbanization and population development in Yantai city have stressed the surrounding coastal ecosystems. POPs released from the intensive agricultural and industrial activities have been regarded as one of the pollutant sources impacting the health of marine coastal environment and organisms (Fung et al. 2004). Previous studies have showed that the increased POPs along the Yantai coast could cause potential risk for the seafood (Liu et al. 2008;Leng et al. 2009). It is essential to evaluate the PBDEs contents in the marine organisms along the Yantai coast for seafood safety. In this study, mollusks, wild shrimps and crabs were collected from a local seafood market and from the field in the SB, respectively. The PBDEs concentration in wild and aquacultured organisms were studied and compared, aiming to monitor the seafood safety and assess the potential risk to human health.
