Abstract

Purpose Dechlorane plus and its related compounds (DPs) are halogenated flame retardants. DP residues were widely detected in sediment because of its high hydrophobicity and extensive use in the electronics industry. In this study, Tenax extraction, a well-established method, was used to measure the effects of total organic carbon (TOC) content in sediment, aging time, and temperature on desorption behavior of DPs from sediment. Consequently, the bioavailability was estimated.
