AB  - The environmental occurrence of potentially emerging brominated flame retardants 
      (BFRs) was investigated near suspected source zones in Norway, within seepage 
      water, sewage waste water, sewage sludges, and sediments. Analyzed emerging BFRs 
      included 1,2-dibromo-4-(1,2-dibromoethyl) cyclohexane (TBECH), 
      1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy) ethane (BTBPE), decabromodiphenylethane (DBDPE), 
      ethylene bis(tetrabromophthalimide) (EBTPI), tetrabromobisphenol A diallyl ether 
      (TBBPA AE), and tetrabromobisphenol A bis(2,3-dipropyl ether) (TBBPA DBPE). In 
      addition selected polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs) were analyzed, so that 
      findings could be compared to legacy BFRs. An analytical method based on liquid 
      chromatography atmospheric pressure photoionization tandem mass spectrometry was 
      developed for analysis of EBTPI, TBBPA AE, and TBBPA DBPE. The legacy BFRs were 
      in general found in higher levels and abundances than the studied emerging BFRs. 
      However, BTBPE was detected in most of the studied matrices (sewage sludge, 
      seepage water and sediment). DBDPE was detected in sewage sludge, waste water, 
      seepage water and in sediment taken close to a combined metal recycling and car 
      dismantling site. TBECH was found in seepage water, waste water and sewage 
      sludge. EBTPI was identified in one seepage water sample; TBBPA AE was detected 
      both in seepage water and sediment, and TBPPA DBPE in waste water and seepage 
      water. Of the emerging BFRs, the highest levels in water samples were quantified 
      for TBBPA DBPE (81 ng/L, seepage water from a combined metal recycling and car 
      dismantling site) and in sediment for BTBPE (6.5 ng/g, taken close to landfill). 
      The findings of current-use BFRs in seepage water, sediment and in sewage suggest 
      that further investigations are needed of the environmental fate and effects of 
      these flame retardants.
