Monitoring and assessing the association of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and flame retardants (Dechlorane Plus and DBDPE) with parental lifestyle factors in a mother–child cohort of the Finnish population (NUGEN)
Background
Human exposure to flame retardants, particularly PBDEs, is detectable in maternal plasma and linked to various adverse health outcomes, but the influence of parental lifestyle and diet on these levels remains poorly understood.
Objective
To monitor PBDEs in maternal and cord plasma samples and examine their relationships with parental health determinants - specifically dietary intake, environmental exposure, and lifestyle factors-in a Northern Finland population for the first time.
Methods
Maternal and cord plasma samples from 102 NUGEN cohort pairs were collected during caesarean sections at Oulu University Hospital. Plasma samples were analysed for PBDE congeners (BDE-47, BDE-66, BDE-85, BDE-99, BDE-100, BDE-153, BDE-154, BDE-183, BDE-209), DBDPE, and chlorinated flame retardants (sDP, aDP), with lipid adjustment. Total cord BFRs were calculated as the sum of all congeners quantified in cord plasma, and total maternal BFRs were calculated analogously using maternal plasma.
Results
PBDE congeners with the highest detection frequencies were maternal BDE-28 (42 %), BDE-47 (42 %), BDE-153 (100 %); and cord BDE-28 (50 %), BDE-47 (52 %), BDE-153 (95 %), BDE-154 (33 %). Maternal smoking was inversely associated with cord BDE-28 (−0.80 [−1.50, −0.09]). Higher paternal education was negatively associated with cord BDE-28 (−0.93 [−1.58, −0.27]), BDE-153 (−0.21 [−0.43, −0.005]), and BDE-154 (−4.34 [−8.00, −0.68]). High vegetable intake was inversely associated with cord BDE-154 (−3.99 [−7.76, −0.22]), while high meat intake was positively associated with total cord BFRs (0.42 [0.06, 0.78]), cord BDE-47 (0.67 [0.13, 1.21]), and maternal BDE-47 (0.77 [0.16, 1.37]).
Conclusion
PBDE levels were higher in cord than maternal samples but lower than in other European countries. Findings support maternal-to-child PBDE transfer and reveal associations with lifestyle, diet, and sociodemographic factors, including paternal variables-a notable gap in prior research.
期刊介绍:
Emerging Contaminants is an outlet for world-leading research addressing problems associated with environmental contamination caused by emerging contaminants and their solutions. Emerging contaminants are defined as chemicals that are not currently (or have been only recently) regulated and about which there exist concerns regarding their impact on human or ecological health. Examples of emerging contaminants include disinfection by-products, pharmaceutical and personal care products, persistent organic chemicals, and mercury etc. as well as their degradation products. We encourage papers addressing science that facilitates greater understanding of the nature, extent, and impacts of the presence of emerging contaminants in the environment; technology that exploits original principles to reduce and control their environmental presence; as well as the development, implementation and efficacy of national and international policies to protect human health and the environment from emerging contaminants.
