Review of recent literature on tri-substituted phosphate esters (2015-2016)

Abstract

Research in the field of risk assessment of replacement chemicals for brominated flame retardants is rapidly expanding with more than 70 peer reviewed publication in the international literature published in 2015-2016 alone. These publications show a variety of data includi11g taxicity, environmental levels and persistence or bioaccumulation assessments. Despite this there still is a lack of information for several of the 19 OPFRs included in tlus literature review. For eleven of the compou11ds 110 EDC taxicity data was available but for five 110 recent acute/ chro1uc taxicity data was found.
