"The purpose of this fact sheet is to describe the bioaccumulation and biomagnification of PBDEs in the St. Lawrence food web. This document focuses solely on pentaBDE, for which 96% of the concentrations measured in Lake Saint-Pierre sediments in 2013 exceeded the Environment Canada quality guidelines. The other BDEs rarely exceed the corresponding guidelines."
