      abstract = {This report represents the first national assessment of  PBDEs in the U.S. coastal zone. Results suggest that they  are widely distributed nationally. Several regions,  including the northern Mid-Atlantic, central Gulf of  Mexico, Southern California, Pacific Northwest and the  Great lakes have elevated PBDE concentrations compared with  other coastal regions. Furthermore, PBDE concentrations are  positively correlated with human population density along  the U.S. coastline. The national and regional perspectives  provided herein are intended to support research, local  monitoring, and to assist resource managers and policy  makers tasked with making regulatory decisions about these  contaminants.},
