Environmental Impact of Flame Retardants (Persistence and Biodegradability) [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2009 Flame-retardants (FR) are a group of anthropogenic environmental contaminants used at relatively high concentrations in many applications. Currently, the largest market group of FRs is the brominated flame retardants (BFRs). Many of the BFRs are considered toxic, persistent and bioaccumulative.

Analytical modelling of stable isotope fractionation of volatile organic compounds in the unsaturated zone [PDF]
, 2011 Analytical models were developed that simulate stable isotope ratios of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) near a point source contamination in the unsaturated zone. The models describe diffusive transport of VOCs, biodegradation and source ageing.
