Exposure Assessment and Health Risk of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE) Flame Retardants in Indoor Environments of Children’s Facilities in Korea

Exposure of general population to PBDEs: A Progressive Total Diet Study in South Korea

“…In Korea, PBDEs have been found in human serum (Kim et al, 2010;Kim et al, 2012), cord blood and breast milk (Kim et al, 2011a), sediments (Lee et al, 2012;Moon et al, 2012), indoor environments (Kim et al, 2011b) and many other environmental compartments.
