VECAP - Controlling Emissions, Protecting the Environment, Continuous Improvement - The Voluntary Emissions Control

摘要

This paper addresses a proactive product stewardship initiative designed to monitor, manage, and minimize emissions of particular additives used in plastics, including those in automobiles. These plastics additives are brominated flame retardants. They are used in certain automobile plastics and textile applications to help prevent fires from starting, delay the spread of fires, or delay the time to flashover, providing people more time to escape burning vehicles.
