  "These are compounds that have the same properties as PCB's and DDT, and it's just a matter of concentration before we have a toxic effect," said Aake Bergman, Stockholm University's chief of environmental chemistry and one of the world's leading scientists regarding PBDE's.
  
  Reserach teams at Stockholm University and other scientific institutions in Sweden have led the investigation of the flame retardants.

  Professor Dr. Bergman is the present director and head of the Department of Environmental Chemistry at Stockholm University, Sweden.Dr. Bergman heads a research group consisting of 30 researchers and employees, and 16 graduate students.Dr. Bergman's Laboratory has an international reputation for cutting edge research on chemical synthesis and environmental analytical chemistry of environmental organic pollutants, as well as the presence, identification, distribution, concentrations, fate and reactivity of such contaminants and metabolites in abiotic systems, and in humans and wildlife and associated ecosystems, particularly in Scandinavia.In addition, Dr. Bergman's research investigates the biological effects and toxicology of organic pollutants and their metabolites.
  
  Dr. Bergman is one of the world's premier authorities of brominated flame retardants (BFRs), and has been instrumental in focusing attention on these emerging contaminants as a global environmental concern at all levels, i.e., academic (research), government, regulation and within the bromine industry itself.
  
  Professor Bergman is a member of the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences, Environmental Committee, and is the chairman of the Swedish national science funding committee for environmental research.Dr. Bergman is a extremely prolific research scientist with well over 200 publications to his credit in peer-reviewed journals over his academic career thus far, which includes a considerable proportion of the published literature on BFRs.Dr. Bergman is also an editor on several scientific journals including Ambio, an environmental journal published by the Swedish Royal Academy.
