Based on the 6th China Total Diet Study (CTDS) conducted in 2016–2019, the occurrence of both legacy and novel brominated flame retardants (BFRs) was measured in animal-derived foods collected across China. Most BFRs could be frequently detected in food samples, indicating their ubiquity in the envi...
