“…For PBDEs, decreasing temporal trends and a peak followed by plateau were identified in Australia [131], Italy [132], Germany [133,134], and the USA [135]. In contrast, PBDE concentrations increased over time in Guinea-Bissau (West Africa) [136] and Ghana [137].…”

“…Tandem mass spectrometry using triple quadrupoles [131,132] has been used for the analysis since the mid-1980s. Recently, tandem quadrupole mass spectrometers have been used and approved in Europe specifically for food testing and food safety purposes [133][134][135]. Hybrid mass spectrometers (HRMS/quadrupole) [136], ion trap mass spectrometers [137][138][139], and the orbitrap [140,141] have also been used for tandem mass spectrometry analysis of dioxin.…”

“…Snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina) have been commonly used to evaluate the extent of organic chemical contamination and trends in the Great Lakes [129][130][131][132][133][134][135][136][137][138][139] and the Hudson River of New York [140,141] since the 1970s. Snapping turtle eggs are also excellent bioindicators of the health conditions in wetlands and the bioavailability of organic contaminants.…”

“…A declining trend of PBDEs in breast milk may be related to the involuntary phase-out of the use of penta-and octaBDE mixtures since 2005. To date, temporal trends or changes of PBDEs in breast milk have been evaluated and found to be inconsistent with the results in a few studies made after the ban or restriction of the use of PBDEs (Hoopmann et al, 2012;Tomes et al, 2012). In addition, few reports examine the internal doses of PBDD/DFs to explore whether PBDD/DFs act as endocrine disruptors.…”

The goal of this report is to evaluate brominated persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the indoor air and dust to further assess their health effects on thyroid hormones and neurodevelopment in infants, toddlers, and young children. This category of brominated POPs includes polybrmonated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), and polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PBDD/DFs). These organobromines are lipophilic compounds which resist physical and chemical degradation in the environment and biota, and so easily bioaccumulate in adipose tissue. Brominated POPs, particularly in brominated fire retardants (BFRs) such as PBDEs, HBCDs, and PBBs, are ubiquitous in indoor environments due to their inadvertent release from certain consumer products. Some of these organobromines have been recognized in some in-vitro and in-vivo studies to be neurotoxins and disrupt thyroid hormones, although the evidence from actual epidemiological studies is contradicted and inconsistent, especially for infants, toddlers, and young children, who are particularly vulnerable to these substances as they spend most of their time in the home. This report focuses on exposure to PBDEs, HBCDs, PBBs, and PBDD/DFs in the indoor dust and on the indoor aerosol, to explore their association with human health, particularly the disruption of thyroid hormones and neurodevelopment in early childhood.
