Mounting evidence of deca-BDE contamination

Human blood: Last year, WWF and the Cooperative Bank collaborated on a blood sampling survey of 47 people from 17 European countries. The survey found up to 56 different man-made chemicals in each individual - with deca-BDE found in 16 people at levels of up to 2.3 micrograms per gram of lipid. The median level was 0.056µg/g.
