TI  - Human exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers through the diet.
PG  - 321-6
AB  - Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), a class of brominated flame retardants, 
      are used in a variety of consumer products being produced in notable quantities. 
      PBDEs have been detected in environmental samples. In recent years, a marked 
      increase in the levels of PBDEs in human biological tissues and fluids, 
      especially breast milk, has been observed in some countries. As for other 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs), dietary intake is very probably the main 
      route of exposure to PBDEs for the general population. This paper reviews the 
      state of the science regarding human exposure to PBDEs through the diet. Because 
      of the scarce information about it, it is concluded that studies focused on 
      determining PBDE exposure for the population of a number of countries are clearly 
      required. The correlation of PBDE body burdens and dietary intake of PBDEs are 
      also necessary.
