Large-Scale Distribution of Dechlorane Plus in Air and Seawater from the Arctic to Antarctica

Dechlorane Plus (DP), a highly chlorinated flame retardant, was investigated in marine boundary layer air and surface seawater from East Greenland Sea and in the Northern and Southern Atlantic toward Antarctica. The concentrations of DP ranged from 0.05 to 4.2 pg m−3 in the atmosphere and from
