Optimisation of the analysis procedure of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in plastic waste from household products

Abstract

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are one group of flame retardants used as additives in many household products, including plastic products. Determining the residues of PBDEs in household plastic products is required to control their effects on human health and leach into the environment after disposal. This study was conducted to optimise sample preparation conditions for analysing PBDEs in plastic waste from household products...
