AB  - Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are anthropogenic compounds that are 
      ubiquitous in most manufactured goods. Few legacy BFRs have been recognised as 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and have been prohibited since the 2000s. 
      However, most BFRs continue to be used despite growing concerns regarding their 
      toxicity; they are often referred to as novel BFRs (nBFRs). While environmental 
      contamination due to chlorinated POPs has been extensively investigated, the 
      levels and spatiotemporal trends of BFRs are comparatively understudied. This 
      study aims to reconstruct the temporal trends of both legacy and novel BFRs at 
      the scale of a river corridor. To this end, sediment cores were sampled from 
      backwater areas in four reaches along the Rhone River. Age-depth models were 
      established for each of them. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), legacy BFRs 
      (polybrominated diphenyl ethers - PBDEs, polybrominated biphenyls - PBBs and 
      hexabromocyclododecane - HBCDDs) and seven nBFRs were quantified. Starting from 
      the 1970s, a decreasing contamination trend was observed for PCBs. Temporal 
      trends for legacy BFRs revealed that they reached peak concentrations from the 
      mid-1970s to the mid-2000s, and stable concentrations by the mid-2010s. 
      Additionally, individual concentrations of nBFRs were two to four orders of 
      magnitude lower than those of legacy BFRs. Their temporal trends revealed that 
      they appeared in the environment in the 1970s and 1980s. The concentrations of 
      most of these nBFRs have not decreased in recent years. Thus, there is a need to 
      comprehend the sources, contamination load, repartition in the environment, and 
      toxicity of nBFRs before their concentrations reach hazardous levels.
