TL;DR: In this paper, a significant correlation between BFRs concentration and gross domestic product (GDP) was observed, with the GDP parameter explained 59.4% and 72.7% of the total variability for Octa-BDEs and low molecular weight NBFRs, respectively.

TL;DR: The total carcinogenic risk of SVOCs, which have carcinogenic toxicities, via ingestion and dermal absorption for infants in homes exceeds the acceptable value, suggesting that the current levels of these SV OCs in homes might pose a risk to infant health.

TL;DR: The carcinogenic risk of BBP and DEHP indicates that the level of DEHP in infant cotton clothing might pose potential adverse effects to infant health, and the result of comparing with the EDIs via Dermal absorption from house air and dust suggests that clothing plays an important role of dermal absorption exposure to phthalates.

TL;DR: Comparisons of the gas/particle (G/P) partitioning equilibrium models indicated that the Dachs-Eisenreich (D-E) model estimates were more reliable than the other models in this study and the current OPE levels in the test home were within the safe thresholds.

TL;DR: The capability of PUF PAS to monitor atmospheric PAHs in a city scale at the same time is demonstrated and the toxic equivalence factor (TEF) was used for health risk assessment, implying bigger potential heath risk for urban and rural people than other areas.
