POLYBROMINATED DIPHENYL ETHERS IN FOOD FROM THE USA: TRENDS BY TIME AND LOCATION
Our previous market basket surveys have described the levels of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in food samples collected in the USA. To extend our previous findings, a convenience sample of thirty matched food samples were collected from three geographically disparate locations in the USA: Los Angeles, California; Dallas, Texas; and Albany, New York. Total PBDE levels were not statistically significantly different among the three locations. When comparing this study to our previous market basket surveys, total PBDE levels in meat were non-significantly higher in the new study and levels in dairy products were statistically significantly higher. These findings suggest that PBDE levels in some foods commonly consumed in the USA may be increasing despite declining commercial use of PBDEs.
