Environmental Impact of Flame Retardants (Persistence and Biodegradability) [PDF]

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2009
Flame-retardants (FR) are a group of anthropogenic environmental contaminants used at relatively high concentrations in many applications. Currently, the largest market group of FRs is the brominated flame retardants (BFRs). Many of the BFRs are considered toxic, persistent and bioaccumulative.
