Abstract:
:Tetradecabromo-1,4-diphenoxybenzene (TeDB-DiPhOBz) is a brominated polyphenyl ether flame retardant (FR) that is known to photolytically degrade to produce lower brominated polybrominated-diphenoxybenzenes (PB-DiPhOBzs), which may be precursors to MeO-PB-DiPhOBzs recently reported in the Great Lakes herring gulls eggs. To our knowledge, there are no reports on TeDB-DiPhOBz or other PB-DiPhOBz by-products in any environmental sample. The present study analyzed for the presence of PB-DiPhOBzs (including TeDB-DiPhOBz) and MeO-PB-DiPhOBzs in surficial sediment from sites in Saginaw Bay in western Lake Huron (n = 7), and in comparison to southern Lake Huron (open water) (n = 5) and Lake Erie (n = 3) sediment collected in the summers of 2012 or 2013. To analyze for possible PB-DiPhOBzs (Br14–Br0), the first known analytical method was developed for extraction and cleanup of sediment samples, and analysis by HPLC–atmospheric pressure photoionization (−)-quadrupole time-of-flight-mass spectrometry. The overall recovery efficiency was optimized to on average 33–104% progressing from Br14- to Br10-PB-DiPhOBzs. Br10- to Br14-PB-DiPhOBz detection and quantification limits ranged from 0.05 to 0.15 ng g(−1) dw and 0.17 to 0.49 ng g(−1) dw, respectively. Although this is the first report, PB-DiPhOBzs (Br14–Br10) and MeO-PB-DiPhOBzs were not detectable in any sediment sample. This included a site near the mouth of the highly FR-contaminated Saginaw River, near the confined disposal facility (CDF) located in Saginaw Bay at Channel-Shelter Island, which receives dredged sediment from the Saginaw River. Our findings suggest sediments from the presently studied sites in the Great Lakes ecosystem are not a sink for TeDB-DiPhOBz and PB-DiPhOBz by-product contaminants.
