Review On Production Processes Of Decabromodiphenyl Ether (DECABDE) Used In Polymeric Applications In Electrical And Electronic Equipment, And Assessment Of The Availability Of Potential Alternatives To DECABDE

Abstract

In this study commissioned by DG ENV, the JRC-IHCP-ECB has reviewed the production processes of DecaBDE, in particular its NonaBDE content, and explored the availability of potential DecaBDE alternatives used in polymeric applications for EEE (cost of substitution and recyclability of alternatives was outside the scope of the study).JRC.I.3-Toxicology and chemical substance
