The human body burden of polybrominated diphenyl ethers and their relationships with thyroid hormones in the general population in Northern China

Effects of PCBs and PBDEs on thyroid hormone, lymphocyte proliferation, hematology and kidney injury markers in residents of an e-waste dismantling area in Zhejiang, China

“…Xu et al, 2014). However, a recent study on the general population in Northern China showed that BDE-47 was negatively correlated with T3 and positively correlated with TSH, but the associations with FT4 were not significant (Huang et al, 2014). X.…”

Association between prenatal exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers and young children's neurodevelopment in China

“…Penta-and octa-BDEs were removed from the European (1998) and North American (2004) marketplace; however, deca-BDEs are still being produced and used globally (Huang et al, 2014). At present, there are no legal restrictions on the production and use of penta-BDEs, octa-BDEs, and deca-BDEs in mainland China.…”

Regression models to estimate total concentrations of polybrominated diphenyl ethers: data from NHANES 2003–2004

“…Vuong et al (2015) reported positive associations between maternal serum levels of BDE-28 and BDE-47 and maternal serum concentrations of FT4, TT4, FT3, and FT4. Huang et al (2014) suggested that exposure to relatively low levels of BDEs might interfere with the thyroid hormone levels in the general population. Prenatal and childhood BDE exposures were reported to be associated with poor attention, fine motor coordination, and cognition in school-age children (Eskenazi et al 2013).…”
