Analysis reveals associations between flame retardant exposure and kidney function in U.S. adults, indicating potential risks.
Our analysis reveals complex, non-monotonic associations between OPFR metabolites and renal function in U.S. adults, presenting a challenge to the prevailing assumption of linear nephrotoxicity. The observed associations warrant cautious interpretation due to potential reverse causality, underscoring the complexity of low-dose exposure assessment and the need for refined risk assessment frameworks.
