Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) in Indoor Air: Levels and Exposure

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. The most abundant congener was identified to be BDE...
