Three decades (1983–2010) of contaminant trends in East Greenland polar bears (Ursus maritimus). Part 2: Brominated flame retardants

Brominated flame retardants were determined in adipose tissues from 294 polar bears (Ursus maritimus) sampled in East Greenland in 23 of the 28 years between 1983 and 2010.
