Childhood exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers and neurodevelopment at six years of age.
Mixtures of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are present in indoor environments. Studies of the developmental effects of exposure to these chemicals in large prospective mother-child cohorts are required, with data on prenatal exposure and long-term follow-up of the children. We aimed to investigate the relationship between prenatal and childhood exposure to PBDEs and neurodevelopment at ...
متن کاملLactational Exposure to Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers and Its Relation to Early Childhood Anthropometric Measurements
BACKGROUND Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants that may influence growth and development. OBJECTIVE We investigated the association between exposure to PBDEs via breast milk and anthropometric measurements in early childhood. METHODS The Pregnancy Infection and Nutrition (PIN) Babies studies followed a cohort of North Carolina pregnant women and ...
متن کاملPolybrominated diphenyl ethers: occurrence, dietary exposure, and toxicology.
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are used as flame retardants in plastics (concentration, 5--30%) and in textile coatings. Commercial products consist predominantly of penta-, octa-, and decabromodiphenyl ether mixtures, and global PBDE production is about 40,000 tons per year. PBDEs are bioaccumulated and biomagnified in the environment, and comparatively high levels are often found in a...
متن کاملPrenatal and childhood polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) exposure and attention and executive function at 9-12 years of age.
OBJECTIVE California children's exposures to polybrominated diphenyl ether flame retardants (PBDEs) are among the highest measured worldwide. We previously reported associations for prenatal and childhood PBDE exposures with decrements in attention, processing speed, fine motor coordination, and cognition in children at ages 5 and 7 years. Here, we investigate associations of PBDEs with attenti...
متن کاملEffects of polybrominated diphenyl ethers on thyroid hormone, neurodevelopment and fertility in rodents and humans.
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are used as flame retardants. Due to their widespread use in many consumer products, PBDEs can be found in food as well as in the environment. Their presence has also been found in the human serum, human adipose tissue and human breast milk. Results of experimental studies suggest that the presence of PBDE in the environment is not neutral to our health. I...
