Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are used as additives in flame retardants and plasticizers.
Due to phase out of several congeners of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), the …

Obesity is a multifactorial disease with both genetic and environmental components. The
prevailing view is that obesity results from an imbalance between energy intake and …

As the use of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and the entire class of
organohalogen flame retardants, is declining, the use of organophosphate ester flame …

Since the phase-out of traditional halogenated flame retardants (HFRs), interests of research
are gradually being shifted to organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs), and this can be …

Biomass is increasingly perceived as a renewable resource rather than as an organic solid
waste today, as it can be converted to various chemicals, biofuels, and solid biochar using …

As many people spend a large part of their life indoors, the quality of the indoor environment
is important. Data on contaminants such as flame retardants, pesticides and plasticizers are …

Due to the restricted use and ban of brominated flame retardants, organophosphorus
