In this chapter, we review human health effects associated with the brominated flame retardants (BFRs) that have constituted the overwhelming majority of BFR production and subsequent exposure in humans. These include tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), and three commercial ...
Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are ubiquitous industrial chemicals, and many of them are produced in large volumes. Due to this fact, several BFRs are found in quantifiable levels in wildlife, as well as in humans. However, we are still lacking information on the effects of BFR in ...
Flame retardants inhibit or delay the spread of fire by suppressing the chemical reactions in the flame or by the formation of a protective layer on the surface of a material. This increases escape time and, thus protects humans, property, and the environment. While selecting and using the ...
Brominatedflame retardants, such aspolybrominated diphenyl ethers(PBDEs), are also ubiquitous, toxic, persistent, and bioaccumulative in the environment. In contrast to the chlorinated organic compounds, the levels of PBDEs increased in the environment and in humans until 2004, when some technical mix...
However, many brominated flame retardants are persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic to both humans and the environment. Mnogi bromirani usporivači gorenja postojani su, bioakumulativni i toksični za ljude i okoliš. EurLex-2 Communication cables — Part 2-27: Common design rules ...

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been largely replaced by organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) and alternative brominated flame retardants (Alt-BFRs) to meet flammability requirements. Humans are ubiquitously exposed to some variety of flame retardants through contact with consumer products di...
