Description

This article reports findings from a study that investigated whether the traditional diet of First Nations populations in the Hudson Bay Lowlands was a major source of polybrominated dipheyl ethers (PBDEs). The authors analyzed tissues from wild game and fish for PBDE content and assessed dietary exposure, which was compared to the US EPA reference doses.
