An overview of the (eco)toxicological effects of flame retardants emerging in water and sediment [PDF]
Journal of Water and Land DevelopmentFlame retardants (FRs) that have an adverse effect on human and the environment have been subject to regulation since 1972. However, FRs emerging as a replacement, are not proving to be fully environmentally safe. Water and sediment contamination by FRs,
