Specializing in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Diabetes, Thyroid Disorders and Other Endocrine Conditions
Palm Beach Diabetes and Endocrine Specialists, P.A. has been pioneering the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes, thyroid disorders and other endocrine conditions for over 30 years.
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) are flame retardant chemicals added to products so they won't catch fire or burn so easily if they are exposed to flame or high heat.
The concentrations of PBDEs in human blood, breast milk, and body fat indicate that most people are exposed to PBDEs. You may be exposed to PBDEs through household dust, consumer products, and from residues in food.
Animal studies have shown that PBDE exposure during pregnancy and after birth caused problems with brain development in offspring. These studies observed problems with learning, memory, and behavior in mice and rats. Animal studies also found that PBDEs can alter thyroid and other hormone levels.
PBDEs can accumulate in breast milk and may be transferred to breastfed babies. It is not known if exposure to PBDEs through nursing can cause health problems in children. We encourage mothers to breastfeed because of the many benefits.
We don't know if PBDEs can cause cancer in people. Rats and mice that ate food with decabromodiphenyl ether (Deca-BDE, which is one type of PBDE) throughout their lives, developed liver tumors. Based on this information, the EPA classified decabromodiphenyl ether as a possible human carcinogen.
Cleaning - PBDEs in indoor dust is one of the primary sources of people's exposure. Reduce your exposure to indoor dust. Use a damp cloth to dust indoor living and working areas. Avoid stirring the dust into the air. Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter. Open windows and doors while you clean. Wash hands after dusting and cleaning.
In 2004, manufactures of Penta-BDE and Octa-BDE voluntarily stopped production of these two forms of PBDEs in the United States.
