2. 1. Hydroxylated polybrominat­ed diphenyl ethers in Baltic Sea biota : Natural production, food web distribution and biotransformation

   Author : Dennis Lindqvist; Lillemor Asplund; Walter Vetter; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; OH-PBDEs; Baltic Sea; Biosynthesis; Environmental fate; Wildlife exposure; Metabolism; Analytical methods; Ceramium tenuicorne; Blue mussel; Gammarus spp.; Stickleback; Perch; Grey Seal; miljökemi; Environmental Chemistry;

   Abstract : Hydroxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers (OH-PBDEs) are naturally produced in aquatic ecosystems e.g. by algae. Many OH-PBDEs have been observed to be highly bioactive and to cause adverse effects through several pathways, e. READ MORE

4. 2. Environmentally relevant chemical disruptors of oxidative phosphorylation in Baltic Sea biota : Exposure and toxic potentials

   Author : Anna-Karin Dahlberg; Lillemor Asplund; Åke Bergman; Göran Marsh; Patrik Andersson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Oxidative phosphorylation; OH-PBDEs; MeO-PBDEs; PBDEs; long-tailed duck Clangula hyemalis ; Baltic herring Clupea harengus ; Baltic blue mussel Mytilus trossulus x Mytilus edulis ; Baltic Sea; miljökemi; Environmental Chemistry;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on toxicity and occurrence of hydroxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers (OH-PBDEs) in Baltic Sea biota. The aims were to assess OH-PBDEs potency for disruption of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and determine their and related compounds exposure in Baltic blue mussel, herring and long-tailed duck.

5. 3. Synthesis of organobromines as a tool for their characterisation and environmental occurrence assessment

   Author : Andreas Rydén; Göran Marsh; Vladimir Nikiforov; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polybrominated diphenyl ethers; Brominated diphenyliodoniums salts; PBDEs; OH-PBDEs; MeO-PBDEs; Synthesis; Analysis; Abbreviations; Metabolites; Marine natural products; E-waste; Brominated flameretardants; miljökemi; Environmental Chemistry;

   Abstract : Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been intensively used as flame retardants (FRs) and have become ubiquitous environmental pollutants. PBDEs form hydroxylated PBDEs (OH-PBDEs) as metabolites. Further, some OH-PBDEs and methoxy-PBDEs (MeO-PBDEs) are natural products. READ MORE

6. 4. Comparison of experimentally and theoretically determined oxidation and photochemical transformation rates of some organohalogens to promote prediction of persistence

   Author : Patricia Moreira Bastos; Åke Bergman; Leif Kronberg; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oxidation; Persistence; Photolysis; QSPR; BFRs; PBDEs; OH-PBDEs; Chemistry; Kemi; miljökemi; Environmental Chemistry;

   Abstract : The diversity of choices we have to make everyday influence our environment and ourselves in more ways than most of us realise. Anthropogenic substances, such as flame retardants, date back as early as 450 BC when the Egyptians used alum to reduce flammability. READ MORE

7. 5. Trends and exposure of naturally produced brominated substances in Baltic biota - with focus on OH-PBDEs, MeO-PBDEs and PBDDs

   Author : Karin Löfstrand; Lillemor Asplund; Åke Bergman; Adrian Covaci; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Batlic Sea; Natural production; OH-PBDE; MeO-PBDE; PBDD; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; miljökemi; Environmental Chemistry;

   Abstract : The semi-enclosed and brackish Baltic Sea has become heavily polluted by nutrients, anthropogenic organic and inorganic chemicals via human activities. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have been thoroughly investigated due to their linkage to toxic effects observed in Baltic biota. There has been far less focus on semi-persistent pollutants e.
