A brominated flame retardant
1,2-Bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethane (BTBPE) has been produced since the mid-1970s and is used as a flame retardant in polystyrene, thermoplastics and synthetic resins. Trade names are Firemaster 680 or Firemaster FF 680 (FI 680, FA 680, FM 680). BTBPE has already been found in various environmental compartments. Biomagnification potential was observed in fish.

-
Common mussel species as invasive animal in rivers and lakes with high information level for water pollution
-
Bioindicator in rivers and lakes
-
Fine insoluble mineral or organic particles in the water phase
-
One of the most important edible mussel species common in the North and Baltic Sea
-
As the only viviparous fish in German nearshore waters, it is a bioindicator in nearshore coastal marine ecosystems.
-
Inshore, the herring gull mainly feeds from the sea: upon fish, mussels, and crabs.

A major primary producer in semi-natural and anthropogenic affected ecosystems.
-
A deciduous tree typical of ecosystems close to dense conurbations and an indicator for the characterisation of the immission situation during the vegetation period.
-
As the most dominant deciduous tree species in Central Europe, it plays a significant role in most nearly natural and also anthropogenically influenced forest ecosystems up to an altitude of 1100 m.
-
The roe deer is the most common of the larger herbivores (first order-consumer) to be found in the wild in Europe.
-
As an organism living at ground level, it is a major driver of the decomposition of organic material (e.g. plant litter).
