Abstract

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are a new type of persistent organic pollutants, which are widely distrib-uted in the marine environment and are harmful to marine organisms. It is, therefore, necessary to assess the effect of PBDEs on marine ecosystems. We introduce the chemical behaviors of PBDEs in seawater, review the accumulation of PBDEs in marine organisms including plankton, benthic animals and nekton, and present the transfer of PBDEs along the marine food chain (web) and their toxic effects. In addition, future research on the marine ecological effects of PBDEs is proposed.
