Area of Science:

  • Environmental Chemistry
  • Atmospheric Science
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Human exposure to airborne novel brominated flame retardants (NBFRs) is a growing concern.
  • Current methods lack reliable prediction of intake based on particle size distribution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a reliable approach for predicting the size-dependent inhalation intake of particulate NBFRs.
  • To investigate the influence of gas/particle partitioning on NBFR exposure.

Main Methods:

  • Analyzed concentrations of eight NBFRs in size-segregated particulate and gaseous samples.
  • Developed an equation to predict particle-size-dependent gas/particle partitioning quotients (KP).
  • Integrated KP predictions with an inhalation exposure model.

Main Results:

  • Successfully predicted size-dependent inhalation intake of particulate NBFRs.
  • Demonstrated the impact of octanol-air partitioning coefficient (KOA) and total suspended particle (TSP) concentration.
  • Particulate NBFR intake exceeded gaseous intake when log KOA > 11.4 at TSP = 100 μg m-3.

Conclusions:

  • The novel approach accurately predicts NBFR inhalation intake based on particle size.
  • Provides crucial insights into factors influencing exposure to airborne NBFRs.
  • Enhances environmental risk assessment for particulate contaminants.
