“…Recent evidence suggests that increased contact with office equipment leads to higher doses and tissue levels of these pollutants. Thirteen PBDE congeners and tetrbromobisphenol-A were quantified in serum collected from computer technicians at levels that were significantly higher than those measured in control samples corresponding to other occupational exposures (Jakobsson et al 2002).…”

“…Recent evidence suggests that increased contact with office equipment leads to higher doses and tissue levels of these pollutants. Thirteen PBDE congeners and tetrbromobisphenol-A were quantified in serum collected from computer technicians at levels that were significantly higher than those measured in control samples corresponding to other occupational exposures (Jakobsson et al 2002).Other adverse human consequences also may be attributed to office equipment. A study of sick building syndrome (SBS) among office workers in Copenhagen, Denmark, revealed a positive association between SBS symptoms and office equipment (Skov et al 1989).…”

“…5,6 TBBPA was found in human tissues, 7 maternal and cord serum, breast milk in women, 8 and serum from an exposed and general population. 9,10 Researchers suggest that TBBPA is a potentially persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) compound. 1 It has been identified as an environmental endocrine disruptor and reported to display low but multiple hormonal activities.…”

“…PBDEs have been found in fish from the Great Lakes and rivers in the United States (Dodder et al 2002;Hale et al 2001;Luross et al 2002;Manchester-Neesvig et al 2001). PBDEs have also been reported in chickens, seafood, seals, and other aquatic mammals and in human milk, fat, liver, and serum samples (Booij et al 2002;Christensen et al 2002;Darnerud et al 2001;Huwe et al 2002;Jakobsson et al 2002;Ohta et al 2002;She et al 2002;Sjodin et al 2001). Examination of Swedish human milk samples from 1972 to 1997 showed an alarming, exponential increase in PBDE levels, with a doubling rate of about 5 years (Noren and Meironyte 2000).…”
