IDENTIFICATION OF TRIS(1,3-DICHLORO-2-PROPYL) PHOSPHATE AND OTHER ORGANOPHOSPHATE FLAME RETARDANTS IN U.S. INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS

摘要：

Tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCPP) and other organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) are being used as a replacement for PentaBDE in polyurethane foam. Samples of foam from furniture purchased in the USA was analyzed for BFRs and OPFRs, as was dust collected from Boston homes and air actively sampled from Boston offices. TDCPP and other OPFRs were found in a large fraction of the furniture. Concentrations of these compounds in dust and air were comparable to PBDEs. TDCPP is considered a probable human carcinogen. Increased attention is needed to alternatives to PBDEs and to their potential combined effects.
