Abstract Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) and Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBP-A) are
brominated flame retardants widely used in variety of industrial and consumer products (eg …

Use of legacy brominated flame retardants (BFRs), including polybrominated diphenyl
ethers (PBDEs) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), has been reduced due to adverse …

Ever since the interest in organic environmental contaminants first emerged 50years ago,
there has been a need to present discussion of such chemicals and their transformation …

Hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs) are brominated aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbons used as
flame retardants in thermal insulation building materials, upholstery textiles, and electronics …

Over the last few years, increasing evidence has become available that some brominated
flame retardants (BFRs) may have endocrine-disrupting (ED) potencies. The goal of the …

In this paper, we review those data which have recently become available for brominated
flame retardants (particularly the brominated diphenyl ethers (BDEs) and …

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

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) constitute an important group of brominated flame
retardants that have been massively produced and extensively used in numerous everyday …

Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and hexabromocyclododecane diastereoisomers (α-, β-,
and γ-HBCD) were investigated in effluents from sewage treatment works, landfill leachates …

Background Organohalogen compounds (OHCs) are known to have neurotoxic effects on
