Foods that were contaminated in Michigan in 1973, when a fire retardant containing the chemical polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) was accidentally mixed with animal feed, have been associated with an early onset of menstruation and pubic hair in some daughters of the women exposed to PBB.
The daughters of the most highly exposed women began menstruation, on average, before they reached their twelfth birthdays.
In 1973, a fire retardant containing PBBs, was mistakenly mixed with cattle feed in place of a feed additive. The contamination was eventually discovered when milk production went down and calves were stillborn or born with hoof deformities. By the time the source of the PBBs was identified, at least 4,000 people had been exposed through contaminated meat and dairy products.
PBB accumulates in fatty tissue in the body and is stored for years. In the current study, researchers contacted female offspring, five to 24 years of age, born after the Michigan PBB incident to mothers listed as exposed to PBB in the Michigan PBB registry.Read more...
