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 ...
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...
Flame retardants are chemicals that are added to the materials to prevent the fire to start or delay its spread. Flame retardants that are widely used; therefore, most studied are polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Humans can be exposed to PBDEs via ingestion of contaminated food, mainly ...
Flame retardants are ubiquitous chemicals added to numerous consumer products to prevent the spread of fire. While they are essential in enhancing fire safety, their widespread use has raised concerns about their environmental and health impacts. One such flame retardant, triphenyl phosphate (TPhP), ...

(PBDE) flame retardants in humans, resulting in the formation of hydroxylated PBDEs (OH-PBDEs) that are potentially more toxic than the parent PBDEs. ... ML Feo,MS Gross,BP Mcgarrigle,... - 《Environmental Health Perspectives》 被引量: 79发表: 2012年 Occupational exposure to potential end...
Since the beginning of this century, an increasing number of laboratories have become involved in the analysis of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in the environment, humans and food. To assure as well as improve the quality of these analyses, a series of international interlaboratory exercises ...
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 ...
Commonly used as flame retardants, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are routinely detected in the environment, animals, and humans. Although these persistent organic pollutants are increasingly recognized as having serious health implications, particularly for children, this is the first study, to ...
