Article Synopsis
  • This study identifies the presence of polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and novel brominated flame-retardants (NBFRs) in various fish species from the Vaal River in South Africa.
  • Concentrations of these contaminants varied by species, with catfish showing the highest levels (up to 12.8 ng g wet weight) and mudfish showing the lowest (up to 3.4 ng g wet weight), influenced by their feeding habits and ecological status.
  • The overall risk assessment indicates low hazard quotients for these contaminants, suggesting that consuming these fish does not pose significant health risks to the South
