Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, hydroxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and measures of thyroid function in second trimester pregnant women in California.
TL;DR: The results indicate that PBDE exposures are elevated in pregnant women in California and suggest a relationship with thyroid function, and a positive association between the weighted sum of chemicals known to bind to transthyretin (ΣTTR binders) and TSH levels.
High exposure of California firefighters to polybrominated diphenyl ethers.
June-Soo Park,Robert W. Voss,Sandra V. McNeel,Nerissa Wu,Tan Guo,Yunzhu Wang,Leslie Israel,Rupali Das,Myrto Petreas +8 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that firefighting activities are likely to increase exposure to PBDEs and that good housekeeping and personal hygiene practices may reduce exposure to these compounds is supported.

High polybrominated diphenyl ether levels in California house cats: House dust a primary source?
TL;DR: PBDE levels in California house cats were extremely high, and polychlorinated biphenyls and OCPs in cats were highly correlated, which suggests a different source or pathway of exposure for PBDEs, which was most likely house dust.

TL;DR: Non-linear associations between prenatal exposure to PFAS and PBDEs during the second trimester of pregnancy and birth weight z-scores were found, however, most PFAS congeners were not associated with adverse birth outcomes.
