Brominated Flame Retardants in Canadian Municipal Wastewater Treatment Systems

This data set contains concentrations of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in wastewater Influent (INF), Effluent (EFF), Landfill Leachate (LCH), Biosolids (BIOS) and Sludge (SLG) sampled from various Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) and Landfills across Canada.
