Implication

Estimates flame retardant exposure in a Spanish cohort, revealing significant sociodemographic influences.

Key Points

  • The study aims to estimate historical exposure to certain flame retardants and identify associated sociodemographic and lifestyle factors.
  • Analyzed adipose tissue concentrations of 12 PBDEs and 2 DPs using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.
  • Collected exposure-related factors through interviews and clinical records review.
  • Conducted multivariable linear regression analyses to evaluate associations.
  • Median PBDE concentrations ranged from 0.13 to 1.34 ng/g lipid across different compounds.
  • Body mass index was inversely associated with anti-DP, syn-DP, and certain PBDE concentrations.
  • Males showed higher levels of various PBDEs compared to females.
  • Manual workers had increased levels of specific PBDEs compared to non-manual workers.
