Article Synopsis
- PBDEs were previously used as flame retardants in household products until they were phased out, and new chemicals like TBB and TBPH have taken their place.
- A study measured the levels of PBDEs, TBB, and TBPH in dust and handwipes from mothers and children in New York City, finding widespread presence in both samples.
- The results showed that children had higher concentrations of these flame retardants on their handwipes compared to their mothers, indicating significant exposure to these chemicals in their environment.
