Emerging flame retardants were determined in Great lakes herring gull eggs (2012/13).
危14PBDEs»HBCDD>危2DDC-CO»other 危12NPHFRs≈危9OPE-FRs in the gull eggs.
危7PBDEs concentrations in 2012–2013 eggs were 30% lower than in 2006–2008 eggs.
BDE-209, HBCDD, 危2DDC-CO concentrations in eggs were greater than in 2006–2008.
Emerging FR exposure emphasizes the importance of monitoring in Great Lakes gulls.
