Abstract
EPA has an office-wide workgroup comprised of scientists from several program offices including the Offices of Pesticides, Prevention, and Toxic Substances, the Office of Water, and the Office of Research and Development, Office of Policy, Economics, and Innovation, to study production, use, alternatives, environmental fate, exposure, and health effects of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). This PBDE Workgroup issued a project plan in 2006 that outlined projects in these areas. A description of the mission of the workgrop group, with a link to this project plan and recent status reports, can be found at http://www.epa.gov/oppt/pbde. This final report addresses the exposure assessment needs identified in that project plan.
