Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDEs) are a type of organobromine compounds which are used as flame retardants that can be found in a vast array of products such as building materials, electronics, home furnishings, cars, planes, polyurethane foams, clothes and plastics.
That last one is especially notable, as microplastic pollution has been found in nearly every corner of the globe, while the pervasiveness of the other categories in daily life ensures likely contact with the compound.
“Microplastics (MPs), defined as plastic particles of less than 5 mm in size, are ubiquitous in the environment and consumer products which inevitably leads to human exposure to these particles confirmed by the recent detection of MPs in […]
