Congener specific distributions of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were investigated in sediment and mussel (Mytilus edulis) collected from the coast of Bo Sea, China. The median values of BDE-209 and ΣPBDEs (including BDE-17, -28, -47, -66, -71, -85, -99, -100, -138, -153, -154, -183 and -190) were 2.29 and 0.16 ng g−1 dry weight in sediment, and 2.43 and 0.68 ng g−1 dry weight in mussel, respectively. BDE-209 was the predominant congener (61–99% in mussel and 75–99% in sediment except for one sample with 17%). Different congener patterns (excluding BDE-209) were observed between sediment and mussel, which were attributed to individual congener’s bioaccumulation potential and/or the ability to metabolize. The four most abundant congeners were BDE-47 (40.3%), -99 (22.5%), -71 (8.9%) and -28 (5.8%) in sediment, and -47 (36.4%), -28 (14.5%), -154 (8.6%) and -71 (8.6%) in mussel, respectively. The ratios of BDE-47/BDE-99 and BDE-100/BDE-99 in sediment were lower than those in mussel, indicating higher transformation and uptake rate of BDE-99 in mussel. The biota-sediment accumulation factor (BSAF) of individual PBDE congeners declined with the increase of their logarithm of octanol–water partition coefficients (log KOW) except for BDE-154, indicating congeners with higher log KOW were more likely to retain in sediment. These can be explained with a high affinity of these compounds for carbonaceous geosorbents, and molecular steric hindrance that limits large, very hydrophobic organic compounds from penetrating the cellular membranes.
