HBCDs and TBBP-A were also determined in dust from homes (n = 45; median concentrations ΣHBCDs = 1300 ng g?1; TBBP-A = 62 ng g?1), offices (n = 28; 760; 36), cars (n = 20; 13,000; 2), and public microenvironments (n = 4; 2700; 230). While ΣHBCDs in car dust significantly exceeded (p {\textless} 0.05) those in homes and offices, TBBP-A in car dust was significantly lower (p {\textless} 0.05) than that in homes and offices. No significant differences were observed between ΣHBCDs and TBBP-A in air or dust from homes and offices. Compared to dietary and inhalation exposures, dust ingestion constitutes an important pathway of exposure to HBCDs and TBBP-A for the UK population. Specifically, using average dust ingestion rates and concentrations in dust, dust ingestion constitutes for adults 34\% (TBBP-A) and 24\% (HBCDs) of overall exposure, and for toddlers 90\% (TBBP-A) and 63\% (HBCDs). Inhalation appears a minor exposure pathway to both HBCDs and TBBP-A. On average, dust is 33\% α-, 11\% ?-, and 56\% ?-HBCD, while air is 22\% α-, 11\% ?-, and 65\% ?-HBCD.},
