No significant differences in total PBDE levels in foods were found among four large cities (Gwangju; 10.91 ng g(-1) wet weight (ww), Seoul; 7.66 ng g(-1) ww, Daejeon; 6.91 ng g(-1) ww, Pusan; 6.87 ng g(-1) ww) and one rural city (Gangneung; 8.72 ng g(-1) ww). Daily dietary intake of PBDEs does not appear to be related to the extent of urbanization. Total dietary intake of PBDE for the average general population was 72.30 ng d(-1) (not detected (ND) = 0) which was similar to other countries. In all food groups, the largest contribution to PBDE intake was from fish and shellfish (48.96 ng d(-1)). Total PBDE consumed per kilogram of body weight was estimated to range from 2.70 ng kg(-1) d(-1) for infants 1 through 2 years of age to 0.85 ng kg(-1) d for 65 years and older and was highest in young children and decreased with increasing age.
