In collaboration with IMM at Karolinska Institute, and the Chemical Centre of Stockholm City, settled dust from 100 day care centers in Stockholm, Sweden, and handwipes from 3-4 children at 30 of these day care centers have been collected and are being analysed for tri-decaBDEs, isomer-specific HBCDs, NBFRs and PFRs at ACES, as well as for phthalates and bisphenols at a commercial laboratory. Correlations between chemical concentrations found in dust and on handwipes will be studied as well as correlations with room contents of various materials and products.
