Decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) has increasingly been used as an alternative to decabrominated diphenyl ether (BDE209) in consumer products such as plastics, textiles, furniture, and electric/electronic devices. The potential target tissues and toxic effects of DBDPE in aquatic organisms remain largely unknown at present, despite its widespread detection in various environments and biotic mediums.
