Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) in Indoor Air: Levels and Exposure [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2005 PBDE levels in 26 different indoor microenvironments including 13 homes, 12 offices and a private car were investigated. A mean indoor air concentration of 143.8 pg/m3 was determined with the offices being more contaminated than residential homes.

Scientific Opinion on Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) in Food
EFSA Journal, 2011 EFSA was asked by the European Commission to deliver a scientific opinion on polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in food. PBDEs are additive flame retardants which are applied in plastics, textiles, electronic castings and circuitry.

Exposure of Americans to polybrominated diphenyl ethers [PDF]
Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, 2007 Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, PBDEs, are a class of brominated flame retardants that, like other persistent organic pollutants (POPs), have been found in humans, wildlife, and biota worldwide. Unlike other POPs, however, the key routes of human exposure are not thought to be food and fish, but rather are from their use in household consumer products,

Reviews in Analytical Chemistry, 2016 Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), heavily used as flame retardant in plastics, are harmful to environment and human health. It is of great importance for method development to determine PBDEs and PBBs in plastics.
