CAS 41318-75-6: BDE 28
Description:BDE 28, or 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether, is a member of the polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) family, which are flame retardants commonly used in various consumer products. This compound is characterized by its brominated aromatic structure, which contributes to its effectiveness as a flame retardant by inhibiting combustion. BDE 28 is known for its persistence in the environment and potential bioaccumulation in living organisms, raising concerns regarding its ecological and health impacts. It has been detected in various environmental matrices, including air, water, and sediments, as well as in human tissues. Toxicological studies suggest that BDE 28 may disrupt endocrine functions and exhibit neurodevelopmental effects, leading to regulatory scrutiny and restrictions in several regions. As a result, its production and use have been phased out or banned in many countries, reflecting a growing awareness of the risks associated with brominated flame retardants. Overall, BDE 28 exemplifies the challenges of balancing fire safety with environmental and health considerations.
