Atmospheric Deposition of Organic Pollutants: A Comprehensive Review of Sampling and Analytical Methodologies. [PDF]
Anal Sci AdvABSTRACT Atmospheric deposition of organic pollutants plays a crucial role in the transport and fate of contaminants in the environment, with implications for ecosystem health and human exposure. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and microplastics are increasingly recognized as transboundary threats due to ...

The co-pyrolysis of flame retarded high impact polystyrene and polyolefins [PDF]
, 2007 The co-pyrolysis of brominated high impact polystyrene (Br-HIPS) with polyolefins using a fixed bed reactor has been investigated, in particular, the effect that different types brominated aryl compounds and antimony trioxide have on the pyrolysis ...

Quantification of polybrominated diphenylethers in oil produced by pyrolysis of flame retarded plastic [PDF]
, 2008 In recent years, there has been extensive research into using pyrolysis to convert toxic brominated plastics into safe, bromine free fuels. However, there has been little investigation of the polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) that are present in ...
