AB  - In this study, the simultaneous presence of eight polybrominated diphenyl ethers 
      (PBDEs), nine new brominated flame retardants (NBFRs) and ten organophosphorus 
      flame retardants (OPFRs) was investigated in dust samples collected from 
      different indoor environments (homes, schools, theatres, a university and a 
      Research Institute) in Barcelona, Spain. OPFRs were detected at the highest 
      concentrations followed by PBDEs.  summation operatorOPFRs ranged from 2053 to 72,090ngg(-1) and 
      tris(2-chloroisopropyl) phosphate (TCIPP) was the most abundant compound. BDE-209 
      was the main PBDE congener detected (up to 14,990ngg(-1)), while other PBDEs 
      ranged from 2.6 to 118ngg(-1). Among the studied NBFRs, decabromodiphenyl ethane 
      (DBDPE - up to 4432ngg(-1)) followed by bis(2-ethylhexyl) tetrabromophthalate 
      (BEH-TEBP - up to 508ngg(-1)) were detected at the highest concentration, whereas 
      a lower detection frequency was observed for 2-ethylhexyl 
      2,3,4,5-tetrabromobenzoate (EH-TBB), 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethane 
      (BTBPE), pentabromotoluene (PBT) and hexabromobenzene (HBB). The levels and 
      profile of flame retardants (FRs) were characteristic of each environment, where 
      theatres followed by homes presented the highest concentrations and schools had 
      the lowest levels. Principal Component Analysis permitted to identify the main 
      sources and distribution of all FRs, according to specific uses in each 
      environment. The simultaneous presence of all FR families in indoor dust points 
      to the need to monitor these compounds to minimize human exposure.
