Tetrabromobisphenol (TBBP) is a flame retardant used in a variety of applications, including plastics, textiles, and electronics. It is a brominated flame retardant, meaning it contains bromine atoms, which are highly effective at preventing the spread of fire. TBBP is a cost-effective flame retardant, and its use has been increasing in recent years. TBBP is a persistent organic pollutant, meaning it does not break down easily in the environment. As a result, it can accumulate in the environment and cause adverse health effects. This has led to increased regulation of TBBP in many countries, and some have even banned its use. Despite the regulatory challenges, TBBP remains a popular flame retardant. It is used in a variety of industries, including automotive, construction, and electronics.
