2. ÉTERES DIFENÍLICOS POLIBROMADOS (PBDE) COMO CONTAMINANTES PERSISTENTES: OCORRÊNCIA, COMPORTAMENTO NO AMBIENTE E ESTRATÉGIAS ANALÍTICAS

Flame retardants are substances mixed with numerous materials to inhibit the combustion process, reducing risks and damages caused by fires. Among these substances, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been widely used for decades due to their low cost and high efficiency. However, since they are mixed and not chemically bonded to the materials, PBDEs
