The median concentrations of MEP in urine samples reported by China and Taiwan are much lower than the median concentration reported in the US population [148]. Concentrations of MiBP reported by the US [148] are about 16-fold lower than those reported by Germany [28] and China [16]. The exposure to DEHP appears nearly similar in the US, Germany, and China, while the exposure to DiNP is higher in US [146] than in German populations [28, 150]. 

A median half-life of 7.1 years for excretion in humans was estimated for 2,3,7,8-TCDD in a group of 36 Vietnam veterans." Further studies have indicated that the half-life may be closer to 8.7 years." CDDs are lipophilic compounds that can concentrate in maternal milk. An analysis of 526 individual milk samples from a German population indicated a mean 2,3,7,8-TCDD level of 3.2 ng/kg milk fat. ...

In aU surveys sahcylate use was higher in women (14%) than men (12%). Owing to massive advertising, vitamin E consumption has risen since the first survey, and was 5.6% in women and 3.6% in men in the German population aged 18-79 years (survey 1997-99). Co-medication with salicylates was observed in 17% of the vitamin E users (55% women, 45% men) and 90% of the reported concomitant use was in those over 50 years.

Dust may be regarded as the ideal material for detection and identification of indoor biocides and any of their residues still existing. Commercial vacuum cleaners ean be used for taking samples. Analysis using the < 63-pm fraction of dust lead to results that are more reproducible than those for any other fraction. Reliable results are only obtained under equilibrium conditions in rooms therefore there should be no cleaning for at least one week before dust samples are taken. Since the Umweltsurveys and two case control studies published recently are based on representative samples for household du.st of the German population (especially PCP, lindane and pyrethroids), the assessment of results is possible by comparison with reference values. 

For a long time it was not fully accepted that food can have an influence on brain structure, and thus on its function, including cognitive and intellectual operations (Bourre, 2004). The Cl concentration of the brain is frkely influenced by medical treatment (e.g., infusion), the salt content of the diet and the amount of food eaten. The estimated average dietary exposure to Cl for the German population is 7575mg d (Wyttenbach et al, 1987).
