Rebuttal to Correspondence on “Exposure to Novel Brominated Flame Retardants and Organophosphate Esters and Associations with Thyroid Cancer Risk: A Case–Control Study in Eastern China”

significant increase in risk with increasing exposure concentration (third quantile concentration). Interestingly, the risk of thyroid cancer decreases at the fourth quantile concentration. These observations suggest that DPTE poses the highest risk for thyroid cancer at the third quantile concentration.
