“…Research has found that the tissue distribution of parent PAHs and APAHs in carrier pigeons was strongly lipid dependent. 95 A study on three kinds of edible seafood fish found that the concentration of NPAHs and OPAHs in the liver of these three kinds of fish was significantly higher than that in the muscle. 125 And the concentration of OPAHs in the guts and gills of different species of fish was higher than that in muscle, which was also affected by organ lipid content.…”

“…One study found that PAHs and the derivatives have different distribution patterns in homing pigeons and wild birds. Homing pigeons are fed clean food, so the main route of exposure to PAHs and the derivatives is inhalation from the atmosphere, and the highest normalized lipid concentrations of PAHs and APAHs were detected in the lungs of homing pigeons …”

“…Homing pigeons are fed clean food, so the main route of exposure to PAHs and the derivatives is inhalation from the atmosphere, and the highest normalized lipid concentrations of PAHs and APAHs were detected in the lungs of homing pigeons. 95 Additionally, breathing in PAHs and the derivatives will also enter the bloodstream through the lungs, reaching various organs all over the body. Researchers have discovered that mice exposed to diesel engine exhaust have PAHs found in their blood.…”

The oxygen (OPAHs), nitro (NPAHs), hydroxyl (OH-PAHs), and alkylated (APAHs) derivatives of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) are ubiquitous pollutants in the environment. The concentrations of NPAHs, OPAHs, OH-PAHs, and APAHs are lower than that of PAHs in the environment, but the carcinogenic abilities of the derivatives are usually 10 to 1,000-fold higher than that of parent PAHs. There are three main pathways for the exposure of polycyclic aromatic compounds to humans, including inhalation, direct contact, and ingestion. After exposure by inhalation, they are mainly distributed in the lungs, affecting lung function and causing inflammation, asthma, etc. Due to the digestive system’s strong capacity for metabolism, intake of PAHs and the derivatives is primarily distributed in the digestive system and metabolized there. And it may lead to dysplasia of these organs and even to cancer. The skin is the primary site of direct contact with PAH derivatives. PAH derivatives can enter the bloodstream through all three contact pathways, thereby accumulating in various organs. This study aimed to summarize the influence of exposure pathways on tissue distribution and the health impact of PAH derivatives to provide references for future research and evaluation on public health.

“…Numerous researchers have confirmed that BFRs are present in the respiratory tract of animals and humans and affect bronchial epithelial cells, including inhibiting cell viability, activating cell apoptosis, inducing DNA damage, and promoting inflammatory and oxidative stress status (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). Besides, the changes mentioned above in the respiratory tract also have a role in the development of COPD (14, 15).…”

BackgroundsWhether there existed an association between brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) prevalence in humans is still a mystery.ObjectiveTo investigate the association between serum single or mixture BFRs and COPD prevalence.MethodsData of 7,591 participants from NHANES 2007–2016 was utilized. Serum BFRs, including PBDE-28, PBDE-47, PBDE-85, PBDE-99, PBDE-100, PBDE-154, PBDE-183, PBDE-209, and PBB-153 were enrolled. The survey-weighted generalized logistic regression model, restricted cubic splines (RCS), weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression, and quantile-based g-computation (QGC) analysis were performed.ResultsAfter adjustment for all confounding factors, log-transformed continuous serum PBDE-28 (OR: 1.43; 95% CI: 1.10–1.85; P = 0.01), PBDE-47 (OR: 1.39; 95% CI: 1.11–1.75; P = 0.005), PBDE-85 (OR: 1.31; 95% CI: 1.09–1.57; P = 0.005), PBDE-99 (OR: 1.27; 95% CI: 1.05–1.54; P = 0.02), PBDE-100 (OR: 1.33; 95% CI: 1.08–1.66; P = 0.01), PBDE-154 (OR: 1.29; 95% CI: 1.07–1.55; P = 0.01), PBDE-183 (OR: 1.31; 95% CI: 1.04–1.66; P = 0.02), and PBB-153 (OR: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.03–1.53; P = 0.03) were positively correlated with the prevalence of COPD. Restricted cubic splines curves displayed that PBDE-209 was significantly associated with CPOD in an inverted U-shape (P = 0.03). A significant interaction between being male and a high prevalence of COPD was observed for PBDE-28 (P for interaction <0.05), PBDE-47 (P for interaction <0.05), PBDE-85 (P for interaction <0.05), PBDE-99 (P for interaction <0.05), PBDE-100 (P for interaction <0.05), and PBB-153 (P for interaction < 0.05). Mixture BFRs exposure was positively associated with COPD prevalence in WQS regression (OR: 1.40; 95% CI: 1.14–1.72, P = 0.002) and in QGC analysis (OR: 1.49; 95% CI: 1.27–1.74, P < 0.001).ConclusionsOur study confirms that individual and mixture BFRs had positive associations with COPD, and further studies are required in larger-scale populations.
