 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 11 Polybrominated diphenyl ethers and detection of pollution [Abstract] polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) is the world’s attention to persistent environmental contaminants in the atmosphere, soil, sediment, plants and animals and in human blood and breast milk, etc.. At present, the environment and human body levels of PBDEs continue to increase, and in the e-waste dismantling the local pollution is particularly serious. In this paper, the pollution status of PBDEs and their test results are reviewed. [Keywords:] Detection of polybrominated diphenyl ethers contamination Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, PBDEs) as brominated flame retardants are widely added to plastic products, etc., but can easily come out from the product in the oven into the environment [1]. Since the 20th century, 80 years after testing found that levels of PBDEs in the environment increased year by year. Only for computer products, PBDEs existed in the circuit boards, electronic components, cables, plastic casing, keyboard and display, etc. in the. From 1997 to 2004, around the world 3  15 ~ 6  80 million PCs have been eliminated, (2 ~ 4) * 109? Kg (an average of 6? Kg / Taiwan) plastic to become e-waste is recycled or discarded [2] , in which the weight of PBDEs accounted for plastics 5% ~ 30% [3]. Most of these e-waste exports to developing countries, and in some areas of e-waste dismantling distribution center, resulting in contamination of the local PBDEs is particularly significant. In this paper, the pollution status of PBDEs and their test results are reviewed. 1PBDEs sources of pollution PBDEs (Chemical general formula C12H (0 ~ 9) Br (1 ~ 10) O, the structure shown in Figure 1. Based on the benzene ring to replace the number and location of bromine atoms different from a total of 209 kinds of congeners) are a class of persistent organic pollutants in the environment is very stable and difficult to degrade and highly
