“…Whereas, the temporal trend of DP in these biotas was not mentioned (Zhu et al, 2014). A very recent work by Barón et al (2015) indicated that DP levels in the unborn eggs of three species (black kite, white stork and greater flamingo) from …”

“…In Great Lakes fish, the level of mirex could reach up to 4300 ng g − 1 lw (Shen et al, 2011a), while Dec 602, 603, 604 and CP could be detected to some extent with relatively lower concentrations (b LOD (limit of detection) -180 ng g − 1 lw) (Shen et al, , 2011a. Nevertheless, Dec 602 showed greater bioavailable or bioaccumulative than DP in many cases (Barón et al, 2014a(Barón et al, , 2015Guerra et al, 2011;Peng et al, 2014;Shen et al, 2010Shen et al, , 2011a, proposing new concern on its potential ecological risk. The reason might be due to its relatively low logK OW values (estimated logK OW : 8.1) and subsequent high bioavailability compared with DP (estimated value: 11.3) (Shen et al, 2011a).…”

“…The awareness of its spatial distribution benefits from the rapidly increasing research on the subject in the last decade, while data on its temporal trends are mainly limited to the North American Great Lakes region except for some studies from Spain and China (Barón et al, 2015;Zhu et al, 2014). There seems to be a consensus that DP shows most characteristics of POPs, such as environment persistency, bioaccumulation and LRAT potential.…”

Although Dechlorane Plus (DP) has been used as a polychlorinated flame retardant for almost half a century, its detection in the environment was not reported until 2006. The subsequent intensive research has confirmed its global ubiquity. A few reviews have presented the properties, analytical methods and environmental occurrence of DP and related compounds in the past several years. The present review emphasizes on the environmental behavior of DP isomers which is assessed by the variation of the isomer ratio of DP in various matrices. Other aspects including the analytical methods, emission sources, general environmental occurrence and bioaccumulation of DP are also summarized. In this review, three typical emission sources in the environment are categorized after introducing the measurement method of DP. The temporal-spatial distribution is then evaluated at the global scale, which provides an integrated representation of the environmental occurrence of DP and potential impact on the human health and ecosystems. The variations of DP isomer ratio in various matrices reinforce its source related distribution and their stereoselective bioaccumulation. Thereafter, DP related compounds and dechlorinated analogs are briefly summarized in regards to their occurrence in various matrices, suggesting their ubiquity in the environment and bioavailability. Further studies are required to better assess the exposures and toxicological effects of DP and its analogs. A special concern is the serious contamination in e-waste recycling areas in developing countries, where long-term monitoring data on the association of DP exposure and adverse effects to human health and ecosystems is urgently needed.

“…This finding is similar to the results observed between 1989 and 1998 in the blubber from seals from San Francisco harbor ; however, some studies indicated a considerable decrease of PBDEs during the first decade of the 21st century in the fur seal from the Pacific coast of Japan . These decreases are likely the result of changes in practices and regulations in Europe and Japan that have gradually controlled the use of PBDEs .…”

Although it is known that emerging contaminants are widespread all over the globe, there is a gap of information about their distribution in some geographical areas, such as Latin America. The present bibliographic work reviews the available literature about the presence of organic emerging contaminants in Latin American freshwater and marine biota between 2002 and 2016 and includes 23 works from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Nicaragua. In particular, the present review provides an overview of the occurrence of continuously present contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and pyrethroid insecticides, as well as the new groups of persistent organic pollutants, the halogenated flame retardants and the perfluoroalkyl substances. A wide overview is provided, considering not only occurrence data but also effects and potential transfer through the food chain. Environ Toxicol Chem 2017;36:1716-1727. © 2016 SETAC.

“…Currently, these pollutants are being detected in the environment, both in sediments, air and water, as well as fish, eggs, blood and hair [18]. In Spain, Barón et al [19,20] have reported the presence of these retardants in the Ebro river, as well as the sludges of six WWTP close to that river. Despite their constant appearance, knowledge about the presence of these pollutants, its fate and behavior is still very limited.…”

The presence of microplastics and synthetic microfibers in the environment is increasing, causing an accumulation in the food chain because their ingestion by different organisms in the ecological community. This paper deals with the importance of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) as a source of microplastics and microfibers from the sludge to the environment. These micropollutants have been monitored in an urban WWTP during 2015, after being separated from the sludge. Micropollutants were extracted by flotation, using a concentrated solution of sodium chloride and several stainless steel sieves. After an initial screening performed with a trinocular microscope, the samples were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and a differential scanning calorimeter, this last technique only for the identified subsamples. Significant matches with databases could be observed, identifying different compounds such as polypropylene, Nylon © , transparent thermoplastic polyamides, norbornene, and ethyl acrylate, among others. These microplastics and microfibers could be transported with organic matter on fertilizers, being used as compost in the field crops of Campo de Cartagena.
