Ann Vuong (Epidemiology and Biostatistics) co-published an article on "Patterns of urinary organophosphate ester metabolite trajectories in children: the HOME Study" in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology.
Organophosphate esters (OPEs) have replaced flame retardant polybrominated diphenyl ethers as flame retardants in consumer products, but few longitudinal studies have characterized childhood OPE exposure. In this study, researchers aimed to examine the exposure pattern of urinary OPE metabolites in children.
