AB  - This study examined the temporal and spatial trends in wet deposition of 19 
      legacy and emerging brominated flame retardants (14 polybrominated diphenyl 
      ethers (PBDEs), 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethane (BTBPE), 
      decabromodiphenylethane (DBDPE), hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) and 
      pentabromoethylbenzene (PBEB)) at 9 sites in the Canadian Great Lakes between 
      2004 and 2010. Concentrations of BDE-209 in wet deposition declined 
      significantly. This indicates that the voluntary actions taken to phase out the 
      use of BDE 209 in North America are having an immediate effect on its environment 
      concentrations. The analysis also revealed the presence of 22 short-term high 
      concentration events that dominated overall wet deposition loadings of 
      current-use BFRs to the lakes. For instance, one sample in 2007 was responsible 
      for 37% of the total loadings of HBCD to Lake Huron over the entire six-year 
      sampling period. This questions the current paradigm of how we believe such 
      pollutants enter the environment.
