Zhou et al. 2001, 2002). The available data indicate that the thyroid is a particularly sensitive target of acute oral exposure and justify using thyroid effects as the basis for an acute oral MRL, but acute effects of PBDEs on the liver are not as well characterized as thyroid effects. Other studies indicate that immunosuppression and neurobehavior are important and potentially critical health end points for acute exposure to PBDEs that need to be further investigated (see discussions of data needs for Immunotoxicity and Neurotoxicity). Studies in other species would help to clearly establish the most sensitive target and species for acute exposure, as well as which animal toxicity data are the most relevant to humans and useful for assessing acute health risks.
