Contribution of BFRs and other contaminants to toxicity profiles of the Czech river sediments and sewage sludge

Original language description

While monitoring of environmental pollutants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals, in various abiotic and biotic matrices, was initiated as early as in 70thlast century, the ubiquitous occurrence of PBDEs was recognized approx. twenty years later. With regard to increasing concentration in human blood and breast milk, the production of commercial penta- and octa-BDEs technical mixtures was banned in the EUin 2004 and the usage of deca-BDE is currently under the discussion. However, due to their former wide use in many goods, a release of lower brominated PBDE congeners into the human environment undoubtedly still continues. Residues of these pollutants when released into the environment are adsorbed rapidly onto the solid particles and then readily accumulated in the organic fraction of soils, sediments and sewage sludge 3,4.
