Update of the risk assessment of PBDEs in food

Update of the risk assessment of PBDEs in food

2024 | European Food Safety Authority
Annex C presents data on the levels of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in human tissues from non-European countries, compiled from studies published after the EFSA 2011 opinion. The data includes levels in blood, serum, plasma, hair, and other tissues. The tables do not claim to be comprehensive but include studies reporting PBDE levels in various human samples. The congeners listed in bold are those included in Commission Recommendation 2014/118/EU for monitoring BFRs in food. The data highlights the presence of PBDEs in human tissues, with varying levels across different populations and regions. Studies from various countries show that PBDEs are present in blood, hair, and other tissues, with some studies indicating a decrease in PBDE levels over time. The data also includes information on the sources of PBDE exposure, such as diet, environment, and occupational exposure. The data is used to assess the risk of PBDE exposure in humans and to inform policy decisions regarding the regulation of PBDEs in food and the environment. The studies also highlight the importance of monitoring PBDE levels in human tissues to understand the long-term health effects of exposure to these chemicals. The data is a valuable resource for researchers and policymakers seeking to understand the extent of PBDE exposure in humans and the potential health risks associated with it.Annex C presents data on the levels of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in human tissues from non-European countries, compiled from studies published after the EFSA 2011 opinion.
