Occurrence of brominated flame retardants and perfluoroalkyl substances in fish from the Czech aquatic ecosystem
Original language description
This study reports results of analysis of various groups of halogenated compounds, including brominated flame retardants (BFRs), such as polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs), hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in 48 fish samples collected in eight localities from the Czech Republic. In this survey, identification of potential sources of these chemicals was also performed; therefore several sampling sites located in highly industrialized areas were also selected. Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) was dominating in all tested fish samples. Generally, the content of ? BFRs was significantly lower, i.e. in the range of 0.21?19.9 ?g/kg wet weight, ww (median value 2.37 ?g/kg ww) compared to theconcentration of ? PFASs that was in the range of 0.15?877 ?g/kg ww (median value 8.5 ?g/kg ww). The extremely high content of PFOS (842 ?g/kg ww) was found in fish muscle tissue from the locality situated on the Bílina River, where chemi
