Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) exposure in children: Possible associations with cardiovascular and psychological functions

This study suggests an association between PBDE exposure and children׳s cardiovascular responses to stress as well as parental and self-reported anger in the child. These variables are particularly important as they may be of potential relevance to the future development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although intriguing, there is a need for further investigation and replication with a larger sample of children.
