PBDE Concentrations in Women’s Serum and Fecundability
BACKGROUND Exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants is widespread, with 97% of Americans having detectable levels. Although PBDEs have been associated with reproductive and hormonal effects in animals, no human studies have examined their association with fertility. OBJECTIVES This study was designed to determine whether maternal concentrations of PBDEs in serum colle...
متن کاملFecundability and Serum PBDE Concentrations in Women
Harley et al. (2010) reported that as serum concentrations of BDE‐47, BDE‐99, BDE‐100, and BDE‐153 [polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners] increased, the time to achieve conception also increased (Harley et al. 2010). Although PBDE con‐ centrations in serum were measured only near the end of the second trimester of pregnancy, the authors reported that the association with a longer time...
متن کاملA Comparison of PBDE Serum Concentrations in Mexican and Mexican-American Children Living in California
BACKGROUND Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), which are used as flame retardants, have been found to be higher in residents of California than of other parts of the United States. OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the role of immigration to California on PBDE levels in Latino children. METHODS We compared serum PBDE concentrations in a population of first-generation Mexican-American 7-...
متن کاملTemporal Variability of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE) Serum Concentrations over One Year
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are flame retardant chemicals used in consumer products. They are common contaminants in human serum and associated with adverse health effects. Our objectives were to characterize PBDE serum concentrations in a New England cohort and assess temporal variability of this exposure biomarker over a one-year period. We collected three repeated measurements at ...
