Dechlorane Plus, dechlorane 602, dechlorane 603 and dechlorane 604 are flame retardants that have been used for a long time as a substitute for mirex, but they have not been noticed as environmental contaminants until recently (2006). Regardless of their large molecular size and very high lipophilicity (log K(OW) > 9), Dechlorane Plus and related compounds have been detected in different aquatic and terrestrial species, supporting their bioaccumulation and biomagnification. Moreover, some studies showed different behaviour of the syn-Dechlorane Plus and anti-Dechlorane Plus isomers in the environment and different biomagnification factors in biota. This review describes the different analytical approaches applied to the determination of Dechlorane Plus and related compounds. Moreover, a summary of their levels in aquatic and terrestrial biota, as well as in humans, is presented, showing also current research results on their bioaccumulation and biomagnification potential. Finally, isomer-specific bioaccumulation of Dechlorane Plus is also discussed.
