A 45-d Tenax extraction was used to evaluate the bioavailability of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in three spiked sediments. The effect of aging on desorption kinetics of PBDEs was investigated by incubating one of the sediments for 7, 14,30 and 60 d at room temperature. Desorption kinetics were well described by a three-compartment model. The fraction of very slow desorption (F(vs)) contributed the most of the desorbed PBDEs from sediments. The total desorption amount of PBDEs decreased with the increase of total organic carbon in the sediments, suggesting that organic matter is an important factor controlling the partition of PBDEs in sediments. The total desorption amount of PBDEs decreased while log [(F(slow) + F(vs))/F(rap)] increased with log K(ow) of PBDE congeners, indicating that the bioavailability of PBDEs in sediment decreases with log K(ow) of the congeners. As the residential time of PBDEs in the sediment increased from 7 to 60 d, F(rap) of individual PBDE congeners decreased gradually with simultaneous increase of F(vs). There was a good positive correlation between F(rap) and F(6)/F(24), indicating that either 6 h or 24 h Tenax extraction could be a proxy for F(rap) and bioavailability. In general, the results in present study suggest that the bioavailability of nona- and deca-BDEs in sediment is very low due to their strong hydrophobicity and large molecular size.
