      waterbirds from an e-waste recycling region in South China: associated with 
      trophic level and diet sources.

AB  - The present study is primarily designed to examine the role played by dietary 
      sources on polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) congener profiles in waterbirds 
      collected in an e-waste recycling region in South China. Some emerging 
      halogenated flame retardants (HFRs), such as dechlorane plus (DP), 
      2,3,4,5,6-pentabromoethyl benzene (PBEB), pentabromotoluene (PBT), and 
      1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethane (BTBPE), were also quantified. Stable 
      isotopes (delta(15)N and delta(13)C) were analyzed to assess the trophic levels and 
      dietary sources of the birds. PBDEs were found to be the predominant HFRs, 
      followed by DP, PBT, PBEB, and BTBPE. The birds in which BDE209 was predominant 
      have differential delta(13)C and delta(15)N signatures compared with other birds, 
      suggesting that dietary source is one of the important factors in determining the 
      PBDE congener profile in birds. The levels of SigmaPBDEs, PBEB, and PBT were 
      significantly correlated with the trophic level (delta(15)N) for avian species which 
      are located in a food chain, indicating the biomagnification potential of these 
      compounds. No correlation was found between DP concentrations and trophic level 
      of the birds. There is a significantly negative correlation between the fraction 
      of anti-DP and delta(15)N, suggesting that the metabolic capability of DP in birds 
      increases with the trophic level of the birds.
