AB  - Kelp, the brown alga distributed in coastal areas all over the world, is also an 
      important medicine food homology product in China. However, the levels and 
      profiles of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in kelp have not been thoroughly 
      investigated to date. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl 
      ethers (PBDEs) and emerging bromine flame retardants (eBFRs) were evaluated in 41 
      kelp samples from the main kelp producing areas in China. The concentrations of 
      total PCBs, PBDEs and eBFRs were in the range of 0.321-4.24 ng/g dry weight (dw), 
      0.255-25.5 ng/g dw and 3.00 x 10(-3)-47.2 ng/g dw in kelp, respectively. The 
      pollutant pattern was dominated by decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE, 
      13.0 +/- 11.7 ng/g dw) followed in decreasing order by BDE-209 (2.74 +/- 4.09 ng/g 
      dw), CB-11 (1.32 +/- 1.06 ng/g dw). The tested results showed that kelp could 
      reflect the pollution status of PCBs, PBDEs and eBFRs, indicating the suitability 
      of kelp as a biomonitor of these harmful substances. Finally, the data obtained 
      was used to evaluate human non-cancer and cancer risks of PCBs and PBDEs via kelp 
      consumption for Chinese. Though the calculated risk indices were considered 
      acceptable according to the international standards even in the worst scenarios, 
      the POPs levels in kelp should be monitored continuously as a good environmental 
      indicator.
