Quantification of polybrominated diphenylethers in oil produced by pyrolysis of flame retarded plastic [PDF]

, 2008
In recent years, there has been extensive research into using pyrolysis to convert toxic brominated plastics into safe, bromine free fuels. However, there has been little investigation of the polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) that are present in ...

Mass Fractions, Congener Group Patterns, and Placental Transfer of Short- and Medium-Chain Chlorinated Paraffins in Paired Maternal and Cord Serum.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2018
Multiple studies have demonstrated the occurrences of short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs) in environmental matrixes, but human internal exposure to them has been studied rarely.

Microbial communities in polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated wastewater lagoon sediments: PCB congener, quantitative PCR, and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing datasets

Data in Brief, 2021
The potential for aerobic and anaerobic microbial natural attenuation of PCBs in freshwater sediments is described by PCB congener, quantitative PCR, and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing datasets generated, in duplicate, from 27 sediment samples ...

Legacy pollutants are declining in Great Skuas (Stercorarius skua) but remain higher in Faroe Islands than in Scotland [PDF]

, 2016
To monitor environmental pollutants in Faroese biota, samples from a top predator were analysed and put into a spatial and temporal context. Analysis of 20 Great Skua eggs sampled in 2012 from the Faroe Islands showed >70 % lower concentrations of ...

Latitudinal variation in soil biota: testing the biotic interaction hypothesis with an invasive plant and a native congener

The ISME Journal, 2018
Soil biota community structure can change with latitude, but the effects of changes on native plants, invasive plants, and their herbivores remain unclear.

Predominance of BDE-209 and other higher brominated diphenyl ethers in eggs of white stork (Ciconia ciconia) colonies from Spain

Environment International, 2011
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are ubiquitous pollutants for which there is still a lack of knowledge about the environmental behavior and fate of the higher brominated congeners (octa- to deca-BDEs).

Designer rhamnolipids by reduction of congener diversity: production and characterization

Microbial Cell Factories, 2017
BackgroundRhamnolipids are biosurfactants featuring surface-active properties that render them suitable for a broad range of industrial applications. These properties include their emulsification and foaming capacity, critical micelle concentration, and ...
