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. 000333305 650_0 $$aPolybrominated diphenyl ethers$$zUnited States$$xMeasurement. 000333305 650_0 $$aWater quality biological assessment$$zUnited States. 000333305 650_0 $$aMarine pollution$$zUnited States$$xMeasurement. 000333305 650_0 $$aMussels$$xEffect of water pollution on$$zUnited States. 000333305 7001_ $$aKimbrough, Kimani L.,$$d1973- 000333305 7101_ $$aUnited States.$$bNational Ocean Service.$$bCoastal Monitoring and Bioeffects Assessment Division. 000333305 7102_ $$aNational Status and Trends Program (U.S.) 000333305 7760_ $$tAssessment of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in sediments and bivalves of the U.S. coastal zone$$h87 p.$$w(OCoLC)317586919 000333305 85200 $$bgen$$hQD341.H9$$iA87$$i2009 000333305 85640 $$zOnline access$$uhttp://purl.access.gpo.gov/GPO/LPS115123 000333305 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:333305$$pGLOBAL_SET 000333305 980__ $$aBIB 000333305 980__ $$aBOOK 000333305 983__ $$aOnline
