1. 1. Indoor emissions and fate of flame retardants : A modelling approach

   Författare :Ioannis Liagkouridis; Ian Cousins; Anna Palm Cousins; Thomas McKone; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; flame retardants; BFRs; OPFRs; indoor environment; emissions; fate; modelling; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : A significant number of consumer goods and building materials act as emission sources of flame retardants (FRs) in the indoor environment. As a result, FRs have become ubiquitous indoors raising concerns about human exposure and possible health implications. LÄS MER

3. 2. Occupational exposure to brominated flame retardants : With emphasis on polybrominated diphenyl ethers

   Författare :Kaj Thuresson; Åke Bergman; Peter Fürst; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; occupational exposure; Brominated flame retardants; polybrominated diphenyl ethers; air and serum concentrations; decabromodiphenyl ether; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

   Sammanfattning : Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are a diverse group of chemicals, which are used to slow down or inhibit the development of fires. BFRs are incorporated into a wide range of consumer products that are considered as potential fire hazards, such as TV-sets, household appliances, computers, and textiles. LÄS MER

4. 3. Improving alternatives assessment of plastic additives : exploring in silico tools to identify less hazardous flame retardants

   Författare :Ziye Zheng; Patrik L. Andersson; Hans Peter Arp; Gregory Peters; Gerrit Schüürmann; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemical alternatives assessment; plastic additives; flame retardants; hazard; emission; in silico; modeling; quantitative structure-activity relationship QSAR ; multi-criteria decision analysis MCDA ; environmental science; miljövetenskap; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry; ekotoxikologi; Ecotoxicology; Toxicology; toxikologi;

   Sammanfattning : Alternatives assessment is applied for replacing hazardous chemicals with viable, safer substitutes. High quality experimental hazard data, however, are usually unavailable for this purpose, and obtaining in silico data is the only approach to fill in data gaps. LÄS MER

5. 4. Levels and sources of organophosphorus flame retardants and plasticizers in indoor and outdoor environments

   Författare :Anneli Marklund; Peter Haglund; Barbro Andersson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; organophosphate esters; OPs; human exposure; air; dust; sewage treatment plants; sludge; oil; snow; deposition; flame retardants; plasticizers; analysis; TCEP; TPP; TCPP; TBP; TBEP; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

   Sammanfattning : Global consumption of organophosphate esters (OPs), which are used as flame retardants and plasticizers, is rapidly increasing. Their use as additives in diverse applications poses a risk as they may be emitted from the products they are added to and be further transported in the environment. LÄS MER

7. 5. What contributes to human body burdens of halogenated flame retardants? : An experimental approach

   Författare :Joo Hui Tay; Cynthia de Wit; Ulla Sellström; Jochen Mueller; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; halogenated flame retardants; air; dust; hand wipes; duplicate diet; serum; human exposure; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Flame retardants (FRs) are chemicals added to a broad range of consumer products such as textiles, electrical and electronic equipment, furniture and building material to meet flammability requirements. Most of these chemicals are additives that can continuously leach out from the applied products during usage. LÄS MER
