1.1 Measured Concentrations in Human Milk

Measured concentrations of TBBPA in human milk, extracted from four sources, are summarized below 

and tabulated in Table S1-1.

Europe

Pratt et al. (2013) investigated the levels of TBBPA and other brominated flame retardants in the 

human milk of 109 primiparous mothers in Ireland. Eleven pooled samples were collected in 2010 from 

the mothers at four collaborating centers across Ireland. The participants had a mean age of 32.7 years 

and a mean BMI of 23.3. All of the mothers had resided in Ireland for at least five years and the 

majority reported having a mixed diet. Data results were presented as upper-bound (UB) and lowerbound (LB) concentrations, which assumes non-detected compounds are present at the LOD or at zero, 

respectively. Investigators detected TBBPA above the LOD in two of the 11 pooled samples. Reported 

UB concentrations ranged from <0.29 to 0.17 ng/g fat weight (0.33 ng/g fat weight mean) and the LB 

mean concentration was reported as 0.05 ng/g fat weight (Note: possible reporting error in the UB 

concentrations for the highest value reported). Due to the limited dietary information collected from

the mothers and because the samples were pooled, no direct relationship between the diet of the 

mothers and the occurrence of TBBPA or the other brominated flame retardants can be established.

TBBPA was measured in human milk and other biological samples (maternal and cord serum, and 

maternal adipose tissue) collected from 93 women (mean age 32.5 years) who had been hospitalized in 

Toulouse, France during the period November 2004 to September 2006 (Cariou et al., 2008). The milk 

was collected on the third and fourth day following childbirth at the hospital. Due to insufficient 

amount of sample for human milk, the experimenters analyzed 77 samples. In human milk, TBBPA was 

detected in 34 of the analyzed samples, at levels ranging from <LOD to 37.34 ng/g lipid weight (4.11 

ng/g lipid weight mean; 0.48 ng/g lipid weight median).

Asia

Levels of TBBPA and other brominated flame retardants were measured in the human milk of 

primiparous mothers in two studies conducted in China. In the more recent study (Shi et al., 2013), 103 

samples were collected within 3 to 40 weeks of childbirth by mothers living in urban and suburban

For a rating of 1, the study should have a valid analytical method, data should be representative, statistical analysis could 

be conducted, and sampling (location, time period, matrix) should be adequate. For a rating of 2, three criteria from the 

rating of 1 should be met, excluding the requirement for conducting statistical analyses. A rating of 4 indicates that 

measurements are available but data are limited and reliability cannot be judged (OECD, 2003).

Beijing between January and August 2011. The mothers followed strict protocols when collecting their 

own samples. All mothers had resided in the area from half a year to more than 5 years. Ninety-five of 

the participants were primiparous and had a mean age of 30.1 years and a mean BMI of 22.7. Personal 

information such as dietary habits and socioeconomic and lifestyle factors was also recorded for all of 

the participants. None of the participants had occupational exposure to brominated flame retardants. 

TBBPA was found in 55 samples in concentrations ranging from <LOD to 12.46 ng/g lipid weight. The 

mean and median concentrations were 0.41 and 0.10 ng/g lipid weight, respectively. The authors 

found no significant correlation between brominated flame retardant levels in the milk and the 

mothers’ diet, place of residence, smoking habit, nursing duration or computer use habit.

In an earlier study conducted by Shi et al. (2009), TBBPA and other brominated flame retardants were 

measured in 24 pooled human milk samples collected in 2007 from 12 provinces in China (12 urban 

and 12 rural areas). The samples were collected from 1,237 primiparous mothers within 3 to 8 weeks 

after childbirth. Each participant had resided in her home for more than five years. Similar to the later 

study, personal information such as occupation, diet, age, and smoking habits was also recorded. None 

of the participants had occupational exposure to brominated flame retardants. TBBPA was found in 10

of the urban pooled samples and in 9 of the rural pooled samples in concentrations ranging from <LOD 

to 5.12 ng/g lipid weight and <LOD to 4.46 ng/g lipid weight, respectively. The mean concentration for 

the urban pooled samples was 0.93 ng/g lipid weight and 0.96 ng/g lipid weight for the rural pooled 

samples.

1.2 Measured Concentrations in Human Adipose Tissue, Blood and 

Hair

Measured concentrations of TBBPA in human adipose tissue, blood and hair were extracted from 

twelve sources and are summarized below and tabulated in Table S1-2.

North America

Johnson-Restrepo et al. (2008) investigated the concentrations of TBBPA (and HBCDs) in human 

adipose tissue, as well as in the tissues of dolphins and sharks from the United States (see Appendix E). 

The human adipose tissues were collected in New York City during 2003-2004 from twenty patients (16 

women and 4 men) who had undergone liposuction surgery. The participants had a mean age of 32.5 

years and were of various ethnicities (10 Caucasians, 9 Hispanics, and 1 African American). TBBPA was 

above the limit of quantification of 0.0033 ng/g lipid weight in 69% of the samples analyzed. 

Concentrations ranged from <0.0033 to 0.464 ng/g lipid weight (0.0479 ng/g lipid weight mean; 0.0152 

ng/g lipid weight median). The authors found no significant correlation between concentrations of 

TBBPA and the age, gender or ethnicity of the participants. However, it should be noted that the 

number of samples analyzed is small. 

TBBPA and other brominated organic compounds were measured in human hair samples, as well as 

environmental samples, obtained from approximately 40 individuals at three barber shops in El 

Dorado, Arkansas in 1977 (Pellizzari et al., 1978). Composites of human hair from each of the barber 

shops were analyzed as three separate samples in order to obtain enough material for analysis. At the 

time of this study, El Dorado was located in a geographic area associated with organo-bromide 

production facilities. TBBPA was confirmed in one of the three composite samples at a concentration 

of 2.0 ng/g. Interferences prevented confirmation of TBBPA in either of the other two composites.

The blood serum of pregnant women living in all regions of Alberta, Canada was monitored in 2005 for 

priority environmental contaminants, including TBBPA (Alberta_Health_Wellness, 2008). The objective 

was to examine the influence of age, geographic location, and seasonality on maternal serum 

concentrations of chemicals that women may be exposed to from food, drinking water, air, soil, 

household dust, or commercial products. A total of 28,484 individual samples were randomly selected 

from 44,584 samples stratified by geographic region, age group, and month of receipt. The samples 

were then pooled (n=158) before analysis. TBBPA concentrations were <0.03 ng/g serum (LOD) in all of 

the samples analyzed.

In 2004, Dallaire et al. (2009) determined the concentrations of TBBPA and other compounds (PFOS 

and brominated organic compounds) in the blood plasma of 883 Nunavik Inuit adults living in the 

Canadian Arctic (northern region of Quebec). Demographic, lifestyle, and dietary information were also 

collected. The participants (men and women) had a mean age of 38 years and a BMI of 27.4. Most of 

the participants were smokers (83%), overweight (55%), and had consumed marine mammals (97%) 

during the preceding year. TBBPA was detected in a small proportion (5%) of the 771 samples analyzed 

at concentrations ranging from <LOD to 82.6 ng/g lipid weight The authors concluded that that the 
Tetrabromobisphenol A Cluster

Page 7 of 14 Supplemental File 1: TBBPA Human Biomonitoring Data

geographical location and traditional lifestyle of the Nunavik Inuit population do not protect them from 

exposure to emerging POPs, particularly PFOS, which was found in 100% of the samples analyzed.

Europe

Kicinski et al. (2012) investigated the levels of TBBPA and other brominated flame retardants in the 

blood serum of 515 high school students (13.6 to 17 years of age) as part of a biomonitoring program 

for environmental health surveillance in Flanders, Belgium. The participants were recruited between 

2008 and 2011 in two industrial areas using a random sampling design. TBBPA concentrations in blood 

serum samples ranged from <LOQ (<0.015 μg/L) to 0.186 μg/L (weight type not reported). Both median 

and 75th percentiles were below LOQ; the 95th percentile was 0.022 μg/L.

Dirtu et al. (2008) optimized and validated an analytical method for simultaneous determination of 

TBBPA, bisphenol A (BPA) and triclosan (TCS) in human serum using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and 

gas chromatography coupled to electron-capture negative-ionization mass spectrometry (GCECNI/MS). The method was applied to 21 serum samples collected in Belgium. All samples were 

collected as part of other studies, and consisted of seven individual serum samples collected in 2007 

(three males and four females, age 23 to 45 years) and fourteen pooled serum samples collected in 

1999 (all females, age 55 to 60 years). All samples were assumed to be from background exposed 

individuals. TBBPA was detected at median concentrations of 0.08±0.02 μg/L serum in the seven 

individual samples and 0.09±0.03 μg/L serum in the fourteen pooled samples. The authors did not 

present concentration ranges. The limit of detection was 0.05 μg/L. Acceptable method recovery was 

achieved.

In the Cariou et al. (2008) study conducted between 2004 and 2006 in Toulouse, France. The 

investigators collected biological samples from women who were hospitalized following child birth. 

TBBPA levels were below the LOD to 93.22 ng/g lipid weight in maternal blood (N=91), <LOD to 649.45 

ng/g lipid weight in cord blood (N=90), and all <LOD in adipose tissue (N=44). The limit of detection was 

not reported. Reported mean and median concentrations, respectively, were 19.87 and 16.14 ng/g 

lipid weight for maternal blood and 103.52 and 54.76 ng/g lipid weight for cord blood. The mean and 

median values appear to be calculated only from detected levels of TBBPA (29 of 91 maternal blood 

samples and 27 of 90 cord blood samples).

Peters (2005) investigated the concentrations of TBBPA and other environmental contaminants in 

maternal and cord blood serum samples. Forty-two maternal blood samples and 27 cord blood 

samples were obtained from the Academic Hospital of Groningen in the Netherlands and analyzed for 

TBBPA, phthalates, musk compounds, alkylphenols, organochlorine pesticides, triclosan and 

perfluorinated compounds. No information was provided on sampling procedures or the volunteers 

who provided the blood samples. TBBPA was detected above the MDL (0.05 ng/g) in 9 samples of 

maternal blood at concentrations ranging from 0.06 to 0.19 ng/g serum. TBBPA was found in only one 

cord blood serum sample at a concentration of 0.05 ng/g. 

In 2003, blood samples were collected from 47 volunteers living in 17 European countries (WWF, 

2004). The samples were analyzed for 101 predominantly persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic manmade chemicals, including TBBPA. All of the volunteers were citizens of European countries and lived 

and worked in Europe. The volunteers included men (51%) and women (49%) who had a median age of 
Tetrabromobisphenol A Cluster

52 years. Lifestyle and personal data were also collected such as nationality, weight change, and recent 

purchase of consumer products likely to contain brominated flame retardants. TBBPA was detected in 

27 of the 40 samples. The range of concentrations was <LOD to 0.33 ng/g blood (0.036 ng/g blood 

median). The author reported that the maximum concentration of TBBPA was roughly 10 times higher 

than that found in previous studies in Europe. In addition, the authors found no significant correlation 

between concentrations of TBBPA and lifestyle and personal data. A significant correlation was found 

for other chemicals. 

To evaluate temporal trends and the role of age and gender on concentrations of TBBPA and other 

brominated flame retardants, Thomsen et al. (2002) analyzed archived serum samples collected from 

men aged 40-50 years between 1977 and 1999 and from different gender and age groups in 1998. The 

serum samples, obtained from a serum bank at the National Institute of Public Health in Norway, had 

been collected from patients at five county hospitals and stored at -20 °C until analysis. The serum 

samples from the 40- to 50-year old men, collected at six time periods from 1977 to 1999, were pooled 

into six samples, one for each sampling period, for analysis. The 1998 serum samples had been divided 

into eight gender/age groups at the serum bank. For the study, samples from 10 to 14 individuals from 

each gender/age group were pooled into one sample for a total of eight pooled samples. 

The results show that TBBPA concentrations in serum from men aged 40-50 years increased during the 

sampling period 1977 to 1999 (Thomsen et al., 2002). TBBPA was not detected in the pooled samples 

collected in 1977 and 1981. The pooled samples from men aged 40-50 years collected in 1986, 1990, 

1995, and 1999 had TBBPA concentrations of 0.44, 0.42, 0.59, and 0.65 ng/g (lipid weight), 

respectively. In the 1998 pooled serum samples, the concentration of TBBPA in the serum from the 

group aged 0-4 years was higher (0.71 ng/g lipid weight) than that of the other age groups (range: 

0.31-0.65 ng/g lipid weight). For the age groups 15-24 years and 25-59 years, TBBPA concentrations in 

serum were lower in women (0.34-0.40 ng/g lipid weight) than in men (0.56-0.65 ng/g lipid weight). 

Men older than 60 years of age had lower TBBPA serum concentrations (0.31 ng/g lipid weight) 

compared to the corresponding group of females (0.42 ng/g lipid weight).

Concentrations of TBBPA and other brominated flame retardants were measured in three occupational 

groups in Norway: electronic dismantlers, circuit board producers, and laboratory personnel (Thomsen 

et al., 2001). The group of five female laboratory personnel (mean age 46 years) was designated as the 

non-occupationally exposed group. Even though their daily routine involved computer work, their 

contact time with computers was assumed to be comparable to that of the general Norwegian 

population. TBBPA concentrations in blood plasma samples obtained from laboratory personnel 

ranged from <LOQ (0.0004) to 0.52 ng/g lipid weight; the mean plasma concentration of TBBPA was 

0.34 ng/g lipid weight. In the electronics dismantlers, TBBPA in plasma ranged from 0.64 to 1.8 ng/g 

lipid weight, with a mean concentration of 1.3 ng/g. In the circuit board producers, TBBPA was < LOQ 

to 0.80 ng/g lipid weight, and the mean value was 0.54 ng/g.

Asia

In a Japanese study, Nagayama et al. (2000) analyzed 14 blood samples collected in 1998 from a pool 

of 24 men and women with a mean age of 43.9 years. The authors detected TBBPA in 8 samples, with 

levels that ranged from ND to 3.70 ng/g lipid weight. Reported mean and median concentrations were 

1.352 and 0.915 ng/g lipid weight, respectively.

f The mean and median values reported in Cariou et al. (2008) appear to be based on the quantifiable levels only. g Age based on total number of volunteers studied (47), of which 24 were male and 23 female. h Eight gender/age groups: males/females 0-4 years old; males/females 4-14 years old; females 15-24 years old; males 15-24 years old; females 25-59 years old; males 

25-59 years old; females >60 years old; and males >60 years old.

2 TBBPA-bis(methyl ether)

EPA/OPPT identified only one reference to biomonitoring data in a Japanese study of TBBPA-bis(methyl 

ether). The compound was not detected in five adipose tissue samples in Japan in 1989, with a 

detection limit of 20 μg/kg, as cited in EC (2008a).
