AB  - Following the ban of polybrominated diphenyl ethers, other halogenated flame 
      retardants (FRs) might be used increasingly. This study has analyzed 
      hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)-ethane (BTBPE), 
      2,3-dibromopropyl-2,4,6-tribromophenyl ether (DPTE) and dechloraneplus (DP) in 
      Greenland air over the course of a year. Moreover, BTBPE, DPTE, DP, 
      2-ethylhexyl-2,3,4,5-tetrabromobenzoate (TBB), bis(2-ethylhexyl) 
      tetrabromophthalate (TBPH) and decabromodiphenylethane (DBDPE) were analyzed in 
      samples of polar bear, ringed seal, black guillemot and glaucous gull from 
      Greenland. HBCD in air appeared low, while mean concentrations of syn- and 
      anti-DP were 2.3 and 5.2 pg/m(3), respectively. BTBPE and DPTE were undetectable 
      in air. Detection frequencies in biota were <50% for BTBPE, TBPH and DBDPE, but 
      near 100% for the remaining compounds. Ringed seals from East Greenland had 
      highest mean concentrations of TBB, DPTE, syn- and anti-DP (1.02, 0.078, 0.096 
      and 0.42 ng/g wet weight, respectively). Our study documents the long-range 
      transport and, to some extent, bioaccumulation of these novel FRs.
