After the PBDE Phase-Out: A Broad Suite of Flame Retardants in Repeat House Dust Samples from California
Robin E. Dodson,Laura J. Perovich,Adrian Covaci,Nele Van den Eede,Alin C. Ionas,Alin C. Dirtu,Julia Green Brody,Ruthann A. Rudel +7 more
TL;DR: Analysis of dust collected in California homes in 2006 and 2011 for 62 FRs and organohalogens suggests that manufacturers continue to use hazardous chemicals and replace chemicals of concern with chemicals with uncharacterized toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endocrine disrupting chemicals in indoor and outdoor air.
TL;DR: This paper summarizes reported indoor and outdoor air concentrations, chemical use and sources, and toxicity data for each of these chemical classes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endocrine Disruptors and Asthma-Associated Chemicals in Consumer Products
Robin E. Dodson,Marcia Nishioka,Laurel J. Standley,Laura J. Perovich,Julia Green Brody,Ruthann A. Rudel +5 more
TL;DR: Analytically quantified endocrine disruptors and asthma-related chemicals in a range of cosmetics, personal care products, cleaners, sunscreens, and vinyl products to raise concern about potential confounding from co-occurring chemicals and misclassification due to variability in product composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urinary Biomonitoring of Phosphate Flame Retardants: Levels in California Adults and Recommendations for Future Studies
Robin E. Dodson,Nele Van den Eede,Adrian Covaci,Laura J. Perovich,Julia Green Brody,Ruthann A. Rudel +5 more
TL;DR: Urine samples from 16 California residents in 2011 were analyzed for 6 chlorinated and nonchlorinated dialkyl or diaryl phosphates (DAPs), the expected major metabolites of the most prominent PFRs, and qualitatively screened for 18 other metabolites predicted from in vitro studies.
