Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are bromine-bearing hydrocarbons added or applied to
materials to increase their fire resistance. As thermal treatment and recycling are common …

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are a large group of different substances used in
numerous products to prevent fire hazards. Some of them are persistent in the environment …

Levels of flame retardants in house dust and a transport pathway from homes to the outdoor
environment were investigated in communities near the Columbia River in Washington state …

Due to worldwide restrictions on polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), the demand for
alternative flame retardants (AFRs), such as organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) …

This paper reviews the existing literature on human exposure to polybrominated diphenyl
ethers (PBDEs), with particular focus on external exposure routes (eg dust, diet, and air) and …

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 …

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 …

Semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) are ubiquitous contaminants in indoor
environments, emanating from different sources and partitioning among several …

This review underlines the importance of indoor contamination as a pathway of human
exposure to hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers …
