Description

Decabromobiphenyl ether (DBE) is a brominated flame retardant (BFR) that has been widely used in various applications, such as plastics, textiles, and electronics. DBE is a highly effective flame retardant due to its high bromine content, which disrupts the combustion process. It is typically synthesized through the bromination of biphenyl ether in the presence of a catalyst. However, concerns have arisen regarding its potential environmental and health effects. DBE has been found to be persistent in the environment, bioaccumulates in organisms, and may pose risks to human health, including endocrine disruption and neurotoxicity. Due to these concerns, DBE has been phased out or restricted in several countries. Research on DBE focuses on its environmental fate, toxicity, and potential alternatives to reduce its use and minimize its environmental impact.'
