摘要

We thank Thomas Osimitz and coauthors for their letter regarding our paper entitled "Concentrations of Brominated Flame Retardants in Indoor Air and Dust from Ireland Reveal Elevated Exposure to Decabromodiphenyl Ethane", published last year (2019) in Environmental Science and Technology. We are grateful that they support our view that "High-end estimates of exposure to BDE-209 for Irish adults, toddlers, and school children are 100 ng/kg bw/day, 2500 ng/kg bw/day, and 1100 ng/kg/day, respectively, and below the USEPA reference dose (RfD) value for adults of 7000 ng/kg bw/day. Those for Octa-BDE (BDE-I83), Penta-BDE (BDE-47 and BDE-99), and ΣHBCDD are also below USEPA guidelines". We are also pleased that they highlight our previous work showing that exposure of some UK children to BDE-209 via indoor dust exceeds the USEPA's RfD. We also note that other researchers have suggested a much lower exposure limit for BDE-99, e.g., a maximal allowed intake level of 0.26 ng/kg bw/day. Moreover, in November 2017, the United Kingdom's Committee on Toxicity (UK COT) expressed "potential concern (about) BDE-99 and - 153 exposure from breast milk at age 12-18 months, and for exposure to BDE-99 and -209 in dust and soil in children aged 1-5 years". We further highlight that the RfD that Osimitz et al. applied for HBCDD of 200 μg/kg bw/day, was calculated by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), using data from an unpublished subchronic study performed in rats in 1970. The NAS concluded that confidence in this RfD for HBCDD is low, because of a lack of other subchronic and chronic studies. Moreover, in October 2016, the UK COT stated that "high levels (of HBCDD) in household dust continues to be a cause for concern", citing a toxicological reference point of 3 μg/kg bw/day.
