The gas chromatographic (GC) retention times of 180 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were obtained under different operational conditions on two types of commonly used capillary columns, Restek Rtx-1614 and J&W DB-5MS, of different dimensions. The relative retention times (RRTs) for PBDEs were calculated by normalizing the retention times of individual congeners to the sum of those of BDEs 47 and 183. In clear contrast to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), the elution of PBDEs has few cross-homolog overlaps, and this observation is discussed in terms of molecular conformation with regard to co-planarity. Within a homolog, ortho substitution in PBDEs tends to decrease GC retention, and such an effect is stronger for higher homologs. With the RRT database established in this work, a simple approach is evaluated for the identification of all mono to hepta PBDEs from the RRTs of 39 congeners under various GC conditions to facilitate the identification of unknown PBDE peaks for which chemical standards are not available.
