Abstract
► Levels of PBDEs are higher in continental shelf rather than inshore dolphins. ► BDEs 47, 99, and 100 were the major congeners detected in the dolphins. ► Congeners found in Octa-BDE formulations were not detected in the dolphins. ► Contamination of animals in the South Atlantic is lower than in the North Atlantic. ► PBDEs comprise 0.2-1.5% of the total burden of POPs.
