自20世纪70年代起,美国越来越多的室内装修材料,特别是床上用品、软垫家具等,都要求达到规定的阻燃性能。阻燃剂的大量使用,在降低了室内可燃材料燃烧性能的同时,也给消防员的身体健康带来了极大的危害。2005年之前,美国市场上用于家具的阻燃剂几乎全部是PBDEs(多溴二苯醚)。该类阻燃剂在人体内长期累积,代谢极其缓慢,且具有脂溶性。美国国家职业安全与卫生研究院最新调查显示,美国消防员患消 Since the 1970s, more and more interior decoration materials in the United States, especially bedding, upholstered furniture, etc., are required to achieve the prescribed flame retardant properties. The heavy use of flame retardants, while reducing the combustibility of indoor flammable materials, but also to firefighters health has brought great harm. Until 2005, almost all of the flame retardants used for furniture in the U.S. market were PBDEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers). Long-term accumulation of such flame retardants in the human body, the metabolism is extremely slow, and has fat-soluble. US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the latest survey shows that the United States suffered a loss of firefighters
