Description

Bis(2,3-dichloropropyl) ether (BDE) is a petrochemical that is metabolized in the body with a metabolic half-life of about 2.5 days. BDE has been shown to be carcinogenic in animals and humans, but the dose of exposure is important for determining whether or not it will have an effect on humans. BDE induces malignant transformation in some animal cells and is considered to have a carcinogenic potential for humans. The mechanism of action may involve binding to DNA and causing chromosomal damage or interference with protein synthesis. Exposure to BDE may also result in micronuclei formation and cell transformation, which can lead to cancer.
