- The epidemiology of autism spectrum disorders. (2007, positive): “Structurally similar to PCBs and found in increasing concentrations in people and the environment, brominated fire retardants (BFRs) such as polybrominated diethyl ether (PBDE) are of concern because it causes a disruption of thyroid hormone function (39).”
- Human internal and external exposure to PBDEs--a review of levels and sources. (2009, background): “PBDEs are under suspicion of being endocrine disrupting and thereby possibly influencing development and reproduction (McDonald, 2002).”
- Review of 'emerging' organic contaminants in biosolids and assessment of international research priorities for the agricultural use of biosolids. (2011, background): “Several studies have shown that PBDEs share similar general properties to organo-halogenated compounds as in vivo exposure of rodents resulted in reduction of serum total and free thyroid hormone (thyroxine T4) levels (Darnerud et al., 2001; McDonald, 2002).”
