An assessment of sources and pathways of human exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers in the United States
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are ubiquitous in the indoor environment, owing to their use in consumer products ranging from electronics to mattresses, furniture, and carpets. People are exposed to PBDEs through inhalation of indoor air and ingestion, and dermal absorption of dust particles...

| description | Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are ubiquitous in the indoor environment, owing to their use in consumer products ranging from electronics to mattresses, furniture, and carpets. People are exposed to PBDEs through inhalation of indoor air and ingestion, and dermal absorption of dust particles present in the air. In this study, concentrations of PBDEs were determined in indoor air and house dust collected from homes in Albany, New York, USA. Based on the measured concentrations of PBDEs in indoor air and dust, we estimated daily exposure dose (DED) of PBDEs. In addition, we used previously published PBDE concentrations reported for breast milk from Massachusetts, USA [Johnson-Restrepo, B., Addink, R., Wong, C., Arcaro, K., Kannan, K., 2007. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers and organochlorine pesticides in human breast milk from Massachusetts. USA. J. Environ. Monitor. 9, 1205–1212] and foodstuffs collected from Texas and Florida, USA [Schecter, A., Päpke, O., Harris, T.R., Tung, K.C., Musumba, A., Olson, J., Birnbaum, L., 2006.

yr), teenagers (12–19
yr), and adults (⩾20
yr). The dust ingestion and air inhalation factors that we used were the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) exposure factors, while the daily food intake rates (g/day) were derived from the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) food intake surveys. The total DED of PBDEs was calculated by summation of the exposures from diet, indoor air, and house dust. The average estimated DED of PBDEs was the highest for breastfed infants (86.4
ng/kg-bw/day), contributed primarily (91%) from the consumption of breast milk. The average DED of PBDEs for toddlers, children, teenagers, and adults was respectively, 13.3, 5.3, 3.5, and 2.9
