AB  - Polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans (PBDD/Fs) are emerging persistent 
      organic pollutants (POPs) that have similar or higher toxicities than the 
      notorious dioxins. Toxicities, formation mechanisms, and environmental fates of 
      PBDD/Fs are lacking because accurate quantification, especially of higher 
      brominated congeners, is challenging. PBDD/F analysis is difficult because of 
      photolysis and thermal degradation and interference from polybrominated diphenyl 
      ethers. Here, literatures on PBDD/F analysis and environmental occurrences are 
      reviewed to improve our understanding of PBDD/F environmental pollution and human 
      exposure levels. Although PBDD/Fs behave similarly to dioxins, different congener 
      profiles between PBDD/Fs and dioxins in the environment indicates their different 
      sources and formation mechanisms. Herein, potential sources and formation 
      mechanisms of PBDD/Fs were critically discussed, and current knowledge gaps and 
      future directions for PBDD/F research are highlighted. An understanding of PBDD/F 
      formation pathways will allow for development of synergistic control strategies 
      for PBDD/Fs, dioxins, and other dioxin-like POPs.
