      exposure in New York State anglers.

AB  - A cross-sectional study was conducted to examine the influence of sportfish 
      consumption on body burden of nine polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners 
      in 36 New York State (NYS) anglers. Participating anglers who had previously 
      reported consuming sportfish from Lake Ontario and its tributaries were found to 
      have significantly higher blood plasma levels of BDE-28, BDE-47, BDE-99, BDE-100, 
      and the sum of measured PBDE congeners (SigmaPBDE), than anglers who had 
      previously reported no consumption of sportfish from these waters. Bivariate 
      analysis was used to evaluate potential dietary predictors of PBDE plasma levels, 
      including indicators of consumption of sportfish, as well as commercial fish, 
      wild waterfowl, dairy products, and beef. The number of years of reported 
      consumption of Lake Ontario sportfish between 1980 and 1990 was found to be 
      correlated with plasma levels of BDE-47, BDE-85, BDE-99, BDE-100, BDE-153, 
      BDE-154, and SigmaPBDE. The number of meals, eaten in the year prior to study 
      participation, of Lake Ontario sportfish species known to have high levels of 
      other persistent organic pollutants (POPs) was correlated with plasma levels of 
      BDE-28, BDE-47, BDE-85, BDE-99, BDE-100, BDE-154, and SigmaPBDE. Multiple linear 
      regression revealed that the number of years consuming Lake Ontario sportfish 
      between 1980 and 1990, after adjusting for plasma lipids, was a weak, but 
      statistically significant, predictor of SigmaPBDE plasma levels (beta=0.130, 95% 
      CI: 0.007-0.254). These results suggest that sportfish consumption can contribute 
      measurably to PBDE body burden in NYS anglers, although there are likely to be 
      additional, more significant, sources of exposure.
