Measurements of atmospheric deposition fluxes and temporal variation of halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) from 2007 to 2008 at urban, electronic waste (e-waste), and rural sites in southern China are presented. The deposition fluxes of total HFRs at the urban (99.3-1327 ng m(-2) day(-1)) and e-waste (79.1-1200 ng m(-2) day(-1)) sites were much higher than at the rural site (9.27-79.5 ng m(-2) day(-1)), demonstrating that e-waste recycling and industrial activities in southern China are two important sources of HFRs in the environment. The urban deposition profile was dominated by current-use HFRs (decabrominated diphenyl ether and decabromodiphenyl ethane), whereas the profile at the e-waste site reflects the past when significant amounts of PBDEs and Dechlorane Plus were used. Source apportionment estimated by principal component analyses with multiple linear regression analysis showed that deposition HFRs at the rural site were primarily contributed by the urban and e-waste sources (45% and 38%, respectively) compared to the contribution from local emission (17%). Our results suggest that the HFRs that are readily present in gas or sorbed onto fine particle phases have enhanced potential for long-range atmospheric transport.
