INDOOR AIR AND DUST CONCENTRATIONS OF NEUTRAL AND IONIC PERFLUOROALKYL COMPOUNDS (PFCS) IN VANCOUVER, CANADA

摘要：

Introduction As part of the goals of the Chemicals, Health and Pregnancy Study (CHirP, www.cher.ubc.ca/chirp), concentrations of neutral and ionic perfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFCs) and PBDEs were measured in indoor air, house dust, and clothes dryer lint. The samples were collected during 2007 from a cohort of ～150 pregnant women residing in Vancouver Canada. The data will be used in conjunction with exposure assessment questionnaire on personal characteristics, diet and home and workplace environments. This information will be correlated against PFC blood concentrations and thyroid hormone levels to further assess exposure and potential effects during pregnancy. Thyroid hormone has been shown to be important for fetal brain development.
