Hydroxylated Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (OH-PBDEs) in the Abiotic Environment : Surface Water and Precipitation from Ontario, Canada

TL;DR: The results in this study suggest that OH-PBDEs are ubiquitous in the abiotic environment and most likely are produced through reaction of PBDEs with atmospheric OH radicals, as well as they may be present in surface waters near STPs due to oxidation of PB DEs and inflows from metabolism by humans and animals.

Polymeric brominated flame retardants: are they a relevant source of emerging brominated aromatic compounds in the environment?
TL;DR: The compounding of thermoplastic polyesters done at high temperatures, up to 290 degrees C, could lead to the release of significant amounts of volatile brominated compounds in the environment when crude polymeric BFRs are used as flame retardants.

TL;DR: In this paper, the chronic effects of metformin in early-life stages of the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) were investigated using 16'S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequencing.
