多溴联苯醚污染对母婴健康影响研究进展

Health effects of polybrominated diphenyl ethers contamination on women and children: a review

多溴联苯醚(PBDEs)因工业生产导致其在环境中广泛存在,并可以通过食物链在生物体内蓄积。妇女儿童通过消化道摄入该物质,可导致癌症、内分泌紊乱、神经损伤等疾病,并且影响妇女生殖健康和儿童生长发育。由于多溴联苯醚在生物体内代谢的复杂性,其在人体内的代谢过程和毒性作用机制尚不明确,还有待于进一步研究证实。

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers（PBDEs） are widely present in the environment because of its considera- ble application in industrial production. PBDEs may cause cancer, endocrine disorders, nerve system damage and may also impact women＇ s reproductive health and children＇ s growth through digestive tract absorption. However, the metabolic processes in human body and toxicity mechanisms of PBDEs are not clear due to its complexity in vivo metabolism, which need to be confirmed by further studies.
