Tetrabromobisphenol A is in the form of white crystalline powder. Soluble in methanol and ether, insoluble in water, it is mainly used as a reactive flame retardant and can be used in epoxy resin, polyurethane resin, etc. As an additive flame retardant, it can be used in polystyrene, SAN resin, ABS resin, etc.
The hazards and carcinogenicity of tetrabromobisphenol A:
On October 27, 2017, the carcinogens announced by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer Preliminary preparation of the list for reference, tetrabromobisphenol A is in the list of Class 2A carcinogens.
Tetrabromobisphenol A is a persistent organic pollutant (POPS) that is widely used and widely present in the environment. It has long-term residual, bioaccumulative, semi-volatile, highly toxic, carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic properties in the environment. It can migrate over long distances in the atmosphere and be deposited back to the earth, causing atmospheric, water, sediment and Pollution of environmental media such as soil and related ecosystems.
Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) has a very high pollution capacity and is very persistent, and it is very easy to accumulate in the human body and cause carcinogenesis. The main hazards are threefold: First, long-term exposure to brominated flame retardants It will hinder brain and bone development; secondly, when it is incinerated, it will release brominated dioxins and furans, both of which are extremely carcinogens.
