TI  - Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers and Other Persistent Organic Pollutants in Serum 
      Pools from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey: 2001-2002.
PG  - 92-96
AB  - Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and 
      persistent pesticides have been measured in serum pools from participants 3-5, 
      6-11, 12-19, 20-39, 40-59, and >/=60 years of age from the 2001-2002 National 
      Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. For 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether 
      (PBDE-47), the unweighted (not adjusted for sampling weights) arithmetic mean 
      concentration (+/-95% confidence interval) was 3.4 times higher in 3-5-year-olds 
      (216 +/- 30 ng/g of lipid) than in 12-19-year-olds (64 +/- 11 ng/g of lipid), with no 
      apparent change with increasing age for adults >/=20 years of age. By contrast, 
      unweighted arithmetic mean concentrations of traditional persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs) such as hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and 
      2,2',3,3',4,4',5,5'-octachlorobiphenyl (PCB194) were 2- and 20-fold higher, 
      respectively, in persons >/=60 years than in 12-19-year-old adolescents. Findings 
      suggest higher exposures to PBDEs but lower exposures to traditional POPs in 
      3-5-year-old children than in adults.
