This interannual study coordinated and conducted by our team and funded by the French Office of Biodiversity (OFB) aims to document the levels and trends of contaminants of emerging concern not routinely followed in monitoring programs, and for which very little (or no) data for the marine environment are available at national level. Since 2010, intertidal mollusks have been collected at about twenty coastal and estuarine sites along the French coast, some under influence of the main French watersheds on the one hand and some from more distant sites on the other. The contaminants targeted in this study are evolving and include brominated and chlorinated flame retardants (FRs), per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), synthetic musks, and organophosphate esters (flame retardants and plasticizers – OPEs) in 2022. The results of this study contribute to the improvement of knowledge on contaminants of emerging concern, by providing essential data on their presence in the marine environment and on the temporal evolution of their levels, allowing to follow the impact of regulations.
