Summary: | Tetrabromobisphenol A bis (allyl ether) (TBBPA-BAE) is an extensively used brominated flame retardant, which has raised considerable concern because of its neurotoxic and endocrine disruption effects on aquatic organisms. However, previous studies mainly focused on the parent compound before modification, tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), and little information is available about the bioconcentration and biotransformation of TBBPA derivatives in fish. In this study, we investigated the tissue-specific uptake, elimination kinetic, and biotransformation of TBBPA-BAE in common carp (
Cyprinus carpio
). The fish were exposed to TBBPA-BAE at environmentally relevant concentrations (20 μg·L
−1
) for 28 days, followed by 14 days of depuration. The results showed TBBPA-BAE could rapidly accumulate in common carp. Among the seven tissues studied, the highest concentrations of TBBPA-BAE were observed in the liver (6.00 μg·g
−1
wet weight [ww]) on day 24, while the longest residence time was observed in the kidney (
t
1
/2
values of 18.7 days). Biotransformation of TBBPA-BAE was documented in the in vivo experiments, and 14 different phase I and phase II metabolites were identified in the liver. These findings suggest the biotransformation products of TBBPA-BAE should be considered for a comprehensive risk evaluation.
