Persistency, bioaccumulation and toxicity assessment of selected brominated flame retardants

Persistency, bioaccumulation and toxicity assessment of selected brominated flame retardants

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are chemicals used in e.g. electronic equipment, textiles and plastics for the prevention of fire. Over recent decades, concern has been raised regarding some heavily used BFRs, since the levels in the environment have been increasing. In the present thesis, persis...
