AB  - Four novel brominated flame retardants (NBFRs), i.e., decabromodiphenylethane 
      (DBDPE), 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy) ethane (BTBPE), pentabromoethylbenzene 
      (PBEB), and hexabromobenzene (HBB) were studied in 377 liquid samples and 288 
      solid samples collected from 20 wastewater treatment plants. Lagoon, primary, 
      secondary, and advanced treatment processes were included, in order to 
      investigate NBFR occurrence and the effects of WWTP operational conditions on 
      NBFR removal. Median influent and effluent levels were 14 to 3,700 and 1.0 to 180 
      pg/L respectively, with DBDPE being the highest in both. Overall median removal 
      efficiencies for DBDPE, BTBPE, HBB, and PBEB across all process types were 81 to 
      93, 76 to 98, 61 to 97, and 54 to 97 %, respectively with advanced treatment 
      processes obtaining the best removals. NBFRs removal was related to retention 
      time, surface loading rate, and biomass concentration. Median NBFR levels in 
      treated biosolids were 80 to 32,000 pg/g, influenced by solids treatment 
      processes.
