Detection of tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate and other organophosphorous compounds in Arctic rivers
The flame-retardant tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate (TDBrPP) was in the 1970s banned for uses in textiles that may be in contact with the skin, owing to strong suspicions that the substance was a human carcinogen. The substance is looked for but rarely detected in samples from the built and natura...
