What fate for brominated fire retardants?
Article Abstract:
Article about the widespread distribution and environmental effects of polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants and the global attention these chemicals are beginning to get. Researchers and environmental groups are worried about emerging pollution problems and health effects in humans and animals.
