PBDE, HBCD, and novel brominated flame retardant contamination in sediments from Lake Maggiore (Northern Italy).
The reduction in the use of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) has opened the way for the introduction of novel brominated flame retardants (NBFRs) in place of the banned formulations. Important representatives of this group are decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE), 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy) ethane (BTBPE), hexabromobenzene (HBB), and pentabromoethylbenzen...
متن کاملCohesin gets pushed around
Cohesin gets pushed around ings of cohesin hold together sister chromatids. Armelle and colleagues now suggest that cohesin rings get pushed to their final resting places by transcription complexes. Cohesins are known to bind a heterochromatin protein at centromeres, but previous reports of cohesin localization on chromosome arms were incomplete. The authors did a comprehensive survey of four b...
متن کاملA review of flame retardant polypropylene fibres
Flame retardants for polypropylene (PP) and their potential suitability for use in fibre applications are reviewed. Five principal types of generic flame retardant systems for inclusion in polypropylene fibres have been identified as phosphoruscontaining, halogen-containing, silicon-containing, metal hydrate and oxide and the more recently developed nanocomposite flame retardant formulations. T...
متن کاملBrominated Flame Retardants (PBDE and PBB) in Sludge – a Problem?
Preface In the autumn of 1999, the presence of brominated flame retardants in sewage sludge aroused medial attention in Sweden. As a result of this, LRF (The farmers organisation) recommended their members to renounce receiving and using sludge as a fertilizer. According to preliminary risk evaluations made at the same time, no obvious risk could be detected. VAV took the initiative to do a fur...
متن کاملPBDE Flame Retardants and Thyroid Hormones during Pregnancy
Chevrier et al. (2010) assessed the association between 10 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and free and total thyroxine (T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in 270 women around the 27th week of gestation. They concluded that PBDEs are associated with lower TSH levels during pregnancy, but several factors that likely influenced the results were not considered in their analysis. Norm...
