Summary:

The ATSDR Interaction Profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for mixtures of hazardous substances. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes toxicologic properties of the featured mixtures. The primary purpose of this Interaction Profile for chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (CDDs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and phthalates is to evaluate data on the toxicology of the "whole" mixture and the joint toxic action of the chemicals in the mixture in order to recommend approaches for assessing the potential hazard of this mixture to public health.
