Socio-Economic Factors Impact US Dietary Exposure to Halogenated Flame Retardants.

Although diet is an important route of exposure for brominated flame retardants (BFRs), little is known of their presence in US food. Therefore, we purchased meat, fish, and dairy product samples ( = 72) in Bloomington, IN, from 3 stores representing national retail chains at different price levels. Composite samples ( = 42) were analyzed for polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD), novel BFRs (NBFRs), and dechlorane plus (DP).
