Predicted lipid-normalized PCB-153 profiles and estimated prenatal, postnatal, and lifetime exposures, assuming constant PCB-153 emissions over time for a woman who gives birth to her first and only child at 20, 30, or 40 years of age (A); has none, two, or five children (with births at 2-year intervals and the last birth at 30 years of age) (B); and consumed breast milk (BM) or formula milk (FM) exclusively for 6 months after her birth and breast-fed (BF) or formula-fed (NBF) a single infant born when the woman was 30 years of age (C). In a steady-state simulation, every generation experiences the same exposure (i.e., results for mother and child are the same).
