Levels and trends of brominated flame retardants in the European environment. (2006, background): “Söderström et al. (2004) studied the photolytic debromination of BDE209 both in the laboratory under UV-light (natural and artificial matrices) and under natural conditions with outdoor sunlight (sand, soil and sediment).”
Organic micropollutants in marine plastics debris from the open ocean and remote and urban beaches. (2011, background): “Lower concentrations can be explained by photodegradation of BDE209 (Soderstrom et al., 2003) during floating on the sea surface.”
Electronic waste management approaches: an overview. (2013, background): “One such example being the debromination of DecaBDEs by photolytic (Söderström et al., 2004) and anaerobic degradation reactions (Gerecke et al., 2005) which gives rise to highly toxic congeners.”
Export of toxic chemicals - a review of the case of uncontrolled electronic-waste recycling. (2007, background): “This was expected as deca-BDE is the most common PBDE flame retardant in commercial use (Söderström et al., 2004).”
