The choice isn't between my Tris-treated couch and another flame-retardant-free one.
High above the crowd in a 28th-floor penthouse another flame was building.
Now, many have returned to more traditional jobs as one dot-com after another flamed out.
Among them is the flame retardant TDCIPP that is known to be cancer-causing and is frequently found in furniture foam, baby products and carpet padding, as is TPHP, another flame retardant in the top 10 list that can affect the reproductive and nervous systems.
The burkini row may seem banal, and to some a surreal inversion of laws in Islamic countries, but it has become yet another flame in the murderous tinderbox of Islamism in France, invoking issues of control over the body, religious freedom, racism, provocation, terrorism, Islam and Islamophobia, republicanism and what the French call laïcité.
The booze and the state of his nerves conspire in him to ignite another flame of deviant inspiration.
TBPH is also used in polyvinyl chloride, neoprene, wire insulation, carpet backing, coated fabrics, wall coverings, and another flame retardant mixture, DP-45 (Covaci et al. 2011).
Another flame retardant mixture known as Firemaster 550® has been associated with obesity, anxiety, and developmental problems in in vitro and animal studies., Little toxicity information is available for still another chemical used as a flame retardant in foam, 2,2-bis chloromethyl propane-1,3-diyltetrakis 2-chloroethyl) bisphosphate.
We focused on the brominated FM550 components, and TBB in particular, because its use is thought to be limited to FM550 and another flame retardant mixture, Firemaster® BZ-54, whereas TBPH and the organophosphates in FM550 (i.e., TPP and ITPs) are used in numerous other flame retardant and plasticizer applications (Covaci et al. 2011; van der Veen and de Boer 2012).
