• A Detailed Review Study on Potential Effects of Microplastics and Additives of Concern on Human Health (2020, background): “The brominated flame retardants decompose at a temperature of approximately 50 °C below the combustion temperature of the matrices to which they are inserted, therefore making them particularly useful for fire prevention [130].”
• Review of risk from potential emerging contaminants in UK groundwater. (2012, background): “Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants have been found to bioaccumulate and have potential endocrine disrupting properties (Hooper and McDonald, 2000; Meerts et al., 2001; Rahman et al., 2001).”
• Emerging contaminants in surface waters and their relevance for the production of drinking water in Europe (2010, background): “As such, they are supposed to have contributed considerably to the reduction of fire risks (Rahman et al. 2001).”
