Relationship of hepatotoxicity and the target tissue dose of decabrominated diphenyl ether in subacutely exposed Wistar rats [PDF]

open access: yesVojnosanitetski Pregled, 2015
Background/Aim. Based on numerous studies in animals, the most prominent toxic effects of decabrominated diphenyl ether (BDE-209) are observed in the liver, thyroid hormone homeostasis, reproductive and nervous systems.

A comparison of developmental toxicity of brominated and halogen-free flame retardant on zebrafish

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Brominated diphenyl ethers (BDEs) are halogenated flame retardants. Several concerns related to persistence and toxicity of BDEs have been resulted in a growing need of BDEs replacement.

Gulls foraging in landfills: Does atmospheric exposure to halogenated flame retardants result in bioaccumulation?

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2021
Several bird species have adapted to foraging in landfills, although these sites are known to represent significant sources of emissions of toxic semi-volatile chemicals including the halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) (e.g., polybrominated diphenyl ...

Levels and congener profiles of halogenated persistent organic pollutants in human serum and semen at an e-waste area in South China

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2020
Typical halogenated persistent organic pollutants (Hal-POPs), including polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), are a group of ubiquitous ...

A review of the transplacental transfer of persistent halogenated organic pollutants: Transfer characteristics, influential factors, and mechanisms

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2021
Persistent halogenated organic pollutants (HOPs) are a class of toxic chemicals, which may have adverse effects on fetuses via transplacental transfer from their mothers.

Landfills represent significant atmospheric sources of exposure to halogenated flame retardants for urban-adapted gulls

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2020
Halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) are contaminants that are abundantly emitted from waste management facilities (WMFs) and that became ubiquitous in air of urbanized regions.

Effects of the diphenyl ether additive in halogen-free processed non-fullerene acceptor organic solar cells

open access: yesJournal of Materials Chemistry A, 2023
Using diphenyl ether as additive in an environmentally friendly fabrication process for non-fullerene acceptor organic solar cells, the nanostructure of the active layer can be fine-tuned to improve efficiency and stability of the devices.

A genomic view of trophic and metabolic diversity in clade-specific Lamellodysidea sponge microbiomes

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2020
Background Marine sponges and their microbiomes contribute significantly to carbon and nutrient cycling in global reefs, processing and remineralizing dissolved and particulate organic matter. Lamellodysidea herbacea sponges obtain additional energy from

Nontargeted biomonitoring of halogenated organic compounds in two ecotypes of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from the Southern California Bight. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Targeted environmental monitoring reveals contamination by known chemicals, but may exclude potentially pervasive but unknown compounds. Marine mammals are sentinels of persistent and bioaccumulative contaminants due to their longevity and high trophic ...
