Sediment cores from 12 Chinese lakes were analyzed to investigate the historical inputs of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and decabromodiphenylethane (DBDPE) during the past few decades. Concentrations of ΣPBDE₁ (sum of tri- to hepta-BDEs), ΣPBDE₂ (sum of nona- to deca-BDEs) and DBDPE in the surface sediments were 0.02–0.29 ng g⁻¹, 0.46–46.6 ng g⁻¹ and 1.02–3.64 ng g⁻¹, respectively. The temporal trends of PBDEs and DBDPE followed a general increase from the bottom to the surface. The calculated fluxes for ΣPBDE₁, ΣPBDE₂ and DBDPE were 0.001–0.09, 0.03–4.24, and 0.05–0.31 ng cm⁻² yr⁻¹, and the inventories were 0.09–7.86, 0.91–461, and 3.83–24.6 ng cm⁻², respectively. The urbanization and industrialization are highly related to the contamination of PBDEs and DBDPE in sediments. The DBDPE input in recent years was still lower than ΣPBDE₂ but the temporal trends indicated that the contamination would increase with the increasing usage of DBDPE in the future.
