Canadian environmental sustainability indicators : polybrominated diphenyl ethers in fish and sediment. : En4-144/49-2018E-PDF
"Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are used as a flame retardant in many products such as building materials, plastics and textiles. They are toxic substances that remain in the environment for long periods after their release. They build up in living organisms such as fish, seals and birds and have a harmful effect on species health and biodiversity. PBDEs are not manufactured in Canada, but can enter the environment when articles containing PBDE are disposed of. These indicators assess PBDE concentrations in fish and sediments against the Federal Environmental Quality Guidelines"--P. 5.
