Dietary Exposure to Brominated Flame Retardants and Abnormal Pap Test Results

Abstract: Objective: This study examined a possible association of dietary exposure to polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), a brominated flame retardant, and self-reported abnormal Pap test results and cervical dysplasia as a precursor to cervical cancer. Methods: Women in Michigan who ingested contaminated poultry, beef, and dairy products in the early 1970s were enrolled in a population-based cohort study in Michigan. Serum PBB and serum polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentrations were measured. Reproductive history and… Show more

PBB exposure was also not associated with a risk of an abnormal pap test result [ 45 ]. However, these studies were all conducted in individuals that were directly exposed to PBBs.…”

“…Plastic materials are used in every aspect of our lives [ 19 ] and common routes of exposure to plastic chemicals and particles [ 20 ] include inhalation [ 21 ], ingestion (including trophic transfer) [ 22 24 ] and direct dermal contact [ 25 27 ]. Furthermore, children are exposed prenatally to plastic chemicals through maternal and paternal exposure [ 28 ], as well as postnatally through breast milk [ 29 ].…”
