Organophosphate and phthalate esters in air and settled dust - a multi-location indoor study.
TL;DR: It is of concern to increase the knowledge about human exposure of these compounds because of their presence in indoor air, and phosphate and phthalate esters are to be regarded as ubiquitous contaminants in the indoor environment.

TL;DR: This review underlines the importance of indoor contamination as a pathway of human exposure to hexabromocyclodododecanes, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and perfluoroalkyl compounds as well as monitoring a wider range of microenvironment categories.
Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Blood Plasma among Swedish Female Fish consumers in Relation to Low Birth Weight
TL;DR: A previous comparison between a cohort of consumers of large quantities of fish from the Swedish east coast and a reference population, together with a following analysis based on questionnaire data from a case-control study within the east coast cohort, supported the hypothesized association between body burden of polychlorinated biphenyls in women and the risk of low birth weight for their infants.
Influence of the injection technique and the column system on gas chromatographic determination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers.
TL;DR: There are large variations in the yield of PBDEs depending on the column and the injection systems, and especially the high molecular weight BDE congeners can be subject to severe discrimination.

Indoor levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in homes with or without wood burning for heating.
TL;DR: The total PAH cancer potency was significantly higher in the wood-burning homes compared with the reference homes, with BaP being the largest contributor, while phenanthrene made the largest contribution to the totalPAH concentration in indoor and outdoor air.
