title = "Levels of Brominated Flame Retardants in Dutch fish and Shellfish including an estimation of the dietary intake",
abstract = "Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are used at relatively high concentrations in various materials and polymers.Their use has expanded considerably during the last three decades. The annual global demand was estimated to 200 000 tons in 1999. The most frequently used brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBP-A), hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) and polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs). On behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature Management and Food Quality (LNV) a monitoring programme has been started in 2003, as part of the Programme nr. 378, {\textquoteleft}Guarding the Quality of Dutch Agricultural, Horticultural and Fishery Products{\textquoteright}. The programme included a survey of BFRs in Dutch freshwater and marine fish, and shellfish. The results of this survey are presented in this report.",
