“…Additionally, the average EDIs of PBDEs via present eggs were also two orders of magnitude higher than the median value (67.8 ng/day) via chicken and duck consumption investigated in the same e-waste recycling site as the present study ). Again, the average EDIs via eggs calculated in the current study were two orders of magnitude higher than the average values estimated in Belgian home-produced eggs (23-48 ng/day) (Covaci et al, 2009), market eggs from Belgium (23-48 ng/day) (Voorspoels et al, 2007), Spain (39-97 ng/day) (Bocio et al, 2003;Gómara et al, 2006), Sweden (51 ng/day) (Darnerud et al, 2006), and USA (66 ng/day) (Schecter et al, 2006). For HBCDs, the EDIs via present homeproduced eggs were two to three orders magnitude higher than those (1.0-80, with mean of 3.53 ng/day) calculated based on market eggs from several Provinces in China (Shi et al, 2009), and were one order of magnitude higher than the values (8.0-16.8 ng/day) reported via consumption of Belgian home-produced eggs (Covaci et al, 2009).…”
