Sentence examples for pbdes it from inspiring English sources

Because of the structural similarity of PCBs and PBDEs, it has been postulated that they exert biological effects through similar processes.

Although this may explain why the po- and sc-treated animals had similar blood concentrations of most PBDEs, it does not explain why the sc route produced estrogenic effects while the po route did not.

HBCD is a major BFR produced globally, and before the phase-out of certain polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), it was the third most abundant BFR in North America, after tetrabromobisphenol A and PBDEs (Johnson-Restrepo et al. 2008).

With increasing regulation and the phasing out of production of the commercial usage of PBDEs, it is expected that the production and usage of DBDPE will mount in the near future [ 42].

Although 246 TBP is a known metabolite of PBDEs, it is also produced and used as a flame retardant in phenolic and epoxy resin itself (Andersson et al. 2006).

As Hg was not associated with case status and showed low correlations with PBDEs, it could not have confounded the analyses of PBDEs and AU/ASD or developmental delay.

For example, speaking about PCB and PBDE it has to be mentioned, that organohalogen toxicokinetics is very different in rodents and humans [ 82].

For a while, mattresses were treated with flame-retardant chemicals called PBDEs until it was discovered that some types of PBDEs could interfere with thyroid hormones and hinder brain development in young children (not exactly something you want the President to have to deal with...)...

PBDE-153 behaved differently from the other PBDEs, as it was not as highly correlated to the other congeners; for example, the correlation coefficient between PBDE-153 and PBDE-47 was 0.53 (p < 0.001; Figure 1C).

Thus, these laboratory PBDE metabolism studies suggest that humans will accumulate and metabolize PBDEs; however, it is not clear how PBDEs are specifically metabolized in human tissues and what types of metabolites will be formed.

In the plasma samples of orally treated animals, 2,2′,4,4′,5,5′-hexabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-153) represented 52% of total measurable PBDEs, whereas it represented only 4.3% in the DE-71 mixture.
