Releases of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) from microplastics in aqueous medium: Kinetics and molecular-size dependence of diffusion

Microplastics (<5 mm) are increasingly detected in aquatic environment, and the high levels of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) contained in them can potentially impact water quality. This study characterized the release kinetics of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribr...
