Organophosphate esters (OPEs), in particular triesters, are high-production-volume
chemicals used as flame retardants and plasticizers to protect or to enhance the properties …

People spend a considerable amount of time indoors. As a result, exposure to indoor
contaminants is of great concern, notably via settled dust ingestion in particular for infants …

As the use of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and the entire class of
organohalogen flame retardants, is declining, the use of organophosphate ester flame …

Due to the voluntary withdrawals and/or bans on the use of two polybrominated diphenyl
ether (PBDE) commercial mixtures, an increasing number of alternate flame retardant …

Because of the similarities in European and North American dietary exposure, it has been
suggested that the order of magnitude higher body burdens in North Americans may be due …

This study was designed to determine the body burden of polybrominated diphenyl ethers
(PBDEs) among first-time mothers in the Greater Boston, Massachusetts area and to explore …

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are widely used as additive flame retardants in
plastics, soft furnishings, electrical and electronic equipment, and insulation in the indoor …

This article reviews recent literature on the analysis of brominated flame retardants (BFRs)
and brominated natural compounds (BNCs). The main literature sources are reviews from …

In this paper, we review recent data for brominated flame retardants (particularly BDEs,
HBCD and TBBP-A) in samples from the European and Asian environments, including …

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been measured in the home environment
and in humans, but studies linking environmental levels to body burdens are limited. This …
