Dina Dobraca,Leslie Israel,Sandra V. McNeel,Robert W. Voss,Miaomiao Wang,Ryszard Gajek,June-Soo Park,Suhash Harwani,Frank Barley,Jianwen She,Rupali Das +10 more
TL;DR: Perfluorodecanoic acid concentrations were three times higher in this firefighter group than in NHANES adult males, suggesting that firefighters may have unidentified sources of occupational exposure to perfluorinated chemicals.

TL;DR: In this first study to assess the association between residential proximity to traffic and pubertal onset, girls with higher exposure reached one pubertAL milestone several months earlier than low exposed girls, even after consideration of likely confounders.
