EXPOSURE TO HEXABROMOCYCLODODECANE (HBCD) EMITTED INTO INDOOR AIR BY DRAWING FLAME RETARDED CURTAIN

摘要

Total amount and peak concentrations of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) isomers emitted into indoor air by drawing a flame-retarded curtain were observed. A preliminary health risk assessment for HBCD emitted by drawing the curtain was carried out with an exposure calculation tool (MCCEM). A margin of exposure (MOE) of 2.1×105 may indicate no concern for consumers when using HBCD-containing curtain due to the sufficiently greater MOE than an uncertainty factor (UF) of 100.
