Interactive Effects of BDE-153 and itsMetabolite 2,4-DBP on Biochemical Statusin Crucian Carp (Carassius auratus)
Summary
This study examined how polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) — flame retardants found in many plastics — and their metabolites affect biochemical markers in organisms. The findings suggest that even metabolized breakdown products of plastic-associated flame retardants can disrupt normal biological functions.
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are organic chemicals that have been commonly applied as flame retardants in plastics, textiles, electronic castings, and items containing polyurethane foam that were produced as three major commercial formulations: penta-BDE, octa-BDE, and deca-BDE Once used, PBDEs are released into natural aquatic systems via different routes and were found in both abiotic and biotic environmental samples over the last decade Moreover, PBDEs as persistent organic pollutants are well known for their persistence, bioaccumulation, long-range transport potential, and toxicity
