Human internal and external exposure to PBDEs – A review of levels and sources

TL;DR: This paper reviews the existing literature on human exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers, with particular focus on external exposure routes (e.g. dust, diet, and air) and the resulting internal exposure to PBDEs and shows that BDE-209 also accumulates in humans.
Journal Article

Chromosomal aberrations in lymphocytes predict human cancer independently of exposure to carcinogens

TL;DR: The risk for high versus low levels of CAs was similar in subjects heavily exposed to carcinogens and in those who had never, to their knowledge, been exposed to any major carcinogenic agent during their lifetime, supporting the idea that chromosome damage itself is involved in the pathway to cancer.

Cancer Risk in Humans Predicted by Increased Levels of Chromosomal Aberrations in Lymphocytes: Nordic Study Group on the Health Risk of Chromosome Damage

TL;DR: An increased level of chromosome breakage appears to be a relevant biomarker of future cancer risk in peripheral blood lymphocytes, according to an ongoing Nordic cohort study of cancer incidence.

Chromosomal aberrations in lymphocytes predict human cancer: A report from the European study group on cytogenetic biomarkers and health (ESCH)

TL;DR: The present study further supports the previous observation on the cancer predictivity of the CA biomarker, which seems to be independent of age at test, gender, and time since test, and Cox's proportional hazards models gave no evidence that the effect of CAs on total cancer incidence/mortality was modified by gender, age attest, or timeSince test.
