TLDR
Despite New Zealand's low body burdens of many chlorinated POPs in comparison to other countries, breast milk concentrations continued to decrease over time, with a decrease by half over the last 10 years for PCDD/F- TEQ, PCB-TEQ and OCPs, indicating that regulatory measures continue to have beneficial effects.About:

Measurements of Selected Brominated Flame Retardants in Nursing Women: Implications for Human Exposure
Simon Ningsun Zhou,Angelina Buchar,Shabana Siddique,Larissa Takser,Nadia Abdelouahab,Jiping Zhu +5 more
TL;DR: Overall, these data confirm the presence of non-PBDE BFRs in humans, and the need to better understand their sources, routes of exposure, and potential human health effects.

Legacy and emerging brominated flame retardants in China: A review on food and human milk contamination, human dietary exposure and risk assessment.
TL;DR: This review summarizes most available BFRs data in foods and human milk from China in recent years, and emphasizes several specific aspects, i.e., contamination levels of legacy and emerging B FRs, dietary exposure assessment and related health concerns, comparison between various BFRS, and temporal changes in BFR s contamination.

Analytical methods for human biomonitoring of pesticides. A review.
TL;DR: This review presents current approaches and recent advances in the analytical methods for determining the biomarkers of exposure to pesticides in the most commonly used specimens, such as blood, urine, and breast milk, and in emerging non-invasive matrices such as hair and meconium.

TL;DR: The levels and EDI ofDBDPE in the present study were similar to or higher than those of legacy BFRs (i.e., PBDEs and HBCD) in the TDS 2007, indicating that DBDPE, as a main alternative toPBDEs, might have become the primary BFR used in China.

TL;DR: Head circumference and head circumference were negatively associated with p,p′‐DDE in female infants, suggesting that OC exposure during pregnancy may influence fetal growth.

The 2005 World Health Organization reevaluation of human and Mammalian toxic equivalency factors for dioxins and dioxin-like compounds.

TL;DR: Concern was expressed about direct application of the TEF/total toxic equivalency (TEQ) approach to abiotic matrices, such as soil, sediment, etc., for direct application in human risk assessment as the present TEF scheme and TEQ methodology are primarily intended for estimating exposure and risks via oral ingestion.

Certain organochlorine and organobromine contaminants in Swedish human milk in perspective of past 20–30 years

TL;DR: The accumulation and ongoing increase in the levels of PBDEs calls for immediate measures to stop the environmental pollution and human exposure toPBDEs.

A review on human exposure to brominated flame retardants—particularly polybrominated diphenyl ethers
TL;DR: The current review addresses human exposure routes and levels of BFRs with a major data set on internal exposures to polybrominated diphenyl ethers.

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in U.S. mothers' milk.
TL;DR: The results indicate a need for more detailed investigation of the levels of PBDE in people and food, as well as determining if animal fat in food is the major route of exposure of the general U.S. population.

Exposure of populations to dioxins and related compounds.

TL;DR: Exposure has been shown to have fallen over time in all countries where data are available and countries that started to implement measures to reduce dioxin emissions in the late 1980s clearly show decreasing PCDD/PCDF and PCB levels in food and consequently a significantly lower dietary intake of these compounds by almost a factor of 2 within the past 7 years.
