"Note: In the table, pentaBDE concentrations are expressed as an annual geometric average. In 2013, Environment and Climate Change Canada published Federal Environmental Quality Guidelines for PBDEs to assess the ecological significance of levels of PBDEs in the environment. The Federal Environmental Quality Guideline for pentaBDE in fish tissues is 1 nanogram per gram of wet weight.",,
