Abbreviations: MA, Mexican American; NHB, non-Hispanic black; NHW, non-Hispanic white. aPredicted U.S. milk PBDE concentrations were determined by applying congener-specific models (Marchitti et al. 2013b) to NHANES mean serum data for women of child-bearing age [20–39 years (Sjödin et al. 2014)]. bEstimated intakes for U.S. infants were calculated from predicted U.S. milk PBDE concentrations (this table) using the formula DIi = CmFMb. cMAMA Study (2004–2005) mean milk concentrations (visit 1) from 34 women (21–39 years); 85% NHW, 9% NHB, and 3% MA. dInfant intakes for MAMA Study participants were estimated from MAMA milk concentrations (this table) using the formula DIi = CmFMb.
