Brominated compounds have received much attention recently because their toxic effects, including teratogenicity, carcinogenicity and neutrotoxicity, have been observed, in particular the brominated diphenyl ethers (Darnerud et al., 2001; Linda S. et al. 2003; Peter Alexander et al. 2003, Juliette Legler et al. 2003). The environmental behavior and fate of many brominated compounds are thought to be similar to those of chlorinated pollutants in the environment
