Toxic Flame Retardants Found to Bioaccumulate and Pose High Ecological Risks
The review discusses how certain flame retardants can build up in organisms and pose ecological risks. Researchers looked at different types of flame retardants and found that many of them can accumulate in organisms and get magnified in the food chain, making them potentially harmful to the environment. They also observed differences in how these flame retardants accumulate in organisms compared to their presence in products and sediments.
