Flame Retardant Applications in Camping Tents and Potential Exposure
Concern has mounted over health effects caused by exposure to flame retardant additives used in consumer products. Significant research efforts have focused particularly on exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) used in furniture and electronic applications. However, little attention has focused on applications in textiles, particularly textiles meeting a flammability standard known...
متن کاملSymptomatology during hypoxic exposure to flame-retardant chamber atmospheres.
Hypoxia was studied in 12 men during 63-h exposures to 17 and 13% O2, with the subjects serving as their own controls by repeating the measurements in 21% O2. All test atmospheres were contaminated with 0.9% CO2 to simulate the condition of living aboard submarines. The mean SaO2's were 97-98% in all conditions of 21% O2, 96% in 17% O2 (n.s.), and 92% in 13% O2 (P less than 0.05). The blood con...
متن کاملExposure to flame retardant chemicals on commercial airplanes
BACKGROUND Flame retardant chemicals are used in materials on airplanes to slow the propagation of fire. These chemicals migrate from their source products and can be found in the dust of airplanes, creating the potential for exposure. METHODS To characterize exposure to flame retardant chemicals in airplane dust, we collected dust samples from locations inside 19 commercial airplanes parked ...
متن کاملBritish Columbia Hydromagnesite-Magnesite Resources: Potential Flame Retardant Material
Hydromagnesite occurrences in British Columbia have been recognized since the beginning of the 19th century (Reinecke, 1920; Young, 1915). However, the known occurrences of hydromagnesite are too small to compete with the large sparry magnesite deposits in British Columbia (Grant, 1987; Simandl et al., 1996 a,b and Simandl, 2000) as potential sources of raw materials for the production of indus...
متن کاملMaternal Exposure to a Brominated Flame Retardant and Genitourinary Conditions in Male Offspring
BACKGROUND The upward trend in industrial nations in the incidence of male genitourinary (GU) conditions may be attributed to increased exposure to endocrine disruptors. Polybrominated biphenyl (PBB), a brominated flame retardant, is one such suspected endocrine disruptor. OBJECTIVE We investigated the relationship between maternal serum levels of PBBs and GU conditions among male offspring e...
