dc.description.abstract | To understand the exposure and potential sources of emerging brominated flame retardants (EBFR) and
organophosphate esters (OPEs) in marine wildlife from the Norwegian Arctic, we investigated concentrations of
EBFRs in 157 tissue samples from nine species of marine vertebrates and OPEs in 34 samples from three whale
species. The samples, collected from a wide range of species with contrasting areal use and diets, included
blubber of blue whales, fin whales, humpback whales, white whales, killer whales, walruses and ringed seals and
adipose tissue and plasma from polar bears, as well as adipose tissue from glaucous gulls. Tris(2-ethylhexyl)
phosphate (TEHP) and tris(2-chloroisopropyl) phosphate (TCIPP) ranged from <0.61 to 164 and < 0.8–41
ng/g lipid weight, respectively, in blue whales and fin whales. All other EBRFs and OPEs were below the
detection limit or detected only at low concentration. In addition to the baseline information on the occurrence
of EBFRs and OPEs in marine wildlife from the Arctic, we provide an in-depth discussion regarding potential
sources of the detected compounds. This information is important for future monitoring and management of
EBFRs and OPEs. | en_US |
