Concentrations of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and novel brominated flame retardants (NBFRs) in the atmosphere of Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, were investigated. Passive air samples were collected for eight consecutive one-year periods from August 2011 to August 2019 at seven Arctic sampling sites. High-resolution gas chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC-HRMS) and gas chromatography coupled with election capture negative ionization mass spectrometry (GC-NCI-MS) were employed for PBDE and NBFR analysis, respectively. The median concentrations of Ʃ₁₁PBDEs and Ʃ₆NBFRs were 0.6 pg/m³ and 4.0 pg/m³, respectively. Hexabromobenzene and BDE-47 were the most abundant NBFR and PBDE congeners in the atmosphere, accounting for 31% and 24% of ƩNBFR and ƩPBDE concentrations, respectively. ƩNBFR concentration was approximately six times higher than that of ƩPBDEs in the same samples. Among NBFRs, the concentrations of 1,2,3,4,5-pentabromobenzene, 2,3,4,5,6-pentabromobenzene, and 2,3-dibromopropyl-2,4,6-tribromophenyl ether showed increasing temporal variations, with estimated doubling times of 3.0, 3.3, and 2.8 years, respectively. The concentrations of almost all PBDE congeners showed a decreasing variation, with halving times ranging from 2.1 to 9.5 years.
