Current serum dioxin (PCDD/F) WHO-TEQ (pg/g lipid in serum), n=27 2.2 0.4-6.1 1.6 1.6-2.8

Current serum dl-PCBs WHO-TEQ (pg/g lipid) 2.2 0.04-7.8 2.0 1.4-3.0

Current serum PBDE (ng/g lipid) n=17* 10.5 4.9-22.1 4.6 8.2-12.9

Means, ranges, standard deviation and 95% confidence interval of the exposure to Dioxins, PCBs and PBDE’s.

*Current serum PBDE levels is calculated with exclusion of the outlier (73.6 ng/g lipids)
