Chapter Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) as Emerging Environmental Pollutants: Advances in Sample Preparation and Detection Techniques
Environmental pollution has been a challenging phenomenon in most developing
countries, due to the weak enforcement of environmental regulations. As a result,
humans and animals are exposed to different environmental pollutants, which
threaten their very existence. Some of the emerging pollutants of great concern are
polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) since they are categorized as probable
human carcinogens and are also known to bioaccumulate in fatty tissues of animals
and humans, reaching toxic levels upon continued exposure
