Despite their occurrence in marine biota, abiotic levels and transport pathways in the marine environment are unknown. Here we present the occurrence and distribution of several non-PBDE BFRs and the most common PBDEs in air and surface water from the Eastern Greenland Sea in the high Arctic to the Antarctica.
