摘      要：The Furniture and Furnishings(Fire Safety)Regulations 1988 is the major driver for the use of chemical flame retardants(FRs)in soft furnishings marketed in the *** these regulations specify the level of flame retardancy required,they do not specify how such levels should be ***,it remains unclear which FRs are present in UK soft *** is important not only to help assess what FRs we may be exposed to currently,but which FRs are currently entering the waste stream with concomitant potential for release into the *** address this data gap,concentrations of polybrominated diphenyl ethers(PBDEs),hexabromocyclododecane(HBCDD)and a range of chlorinated organophosphate flame retardants(OPFRs)were measured in samples of domestic and office waste soft furnishings products entering the UK waste stream in 2011 and *** preliminary study measured the FR content of:carpets(n?4),curtains(n?7),mattress fabrics(n?2),furniture foam(n?9),and furniture upholstery textiles(n?10).Polybrominated diphenyl ethers(PBDEs)and hexabromocyclododecane(HBCDD)were not found at significant concentrations(below detection limits in most samples)in any of the twenty two analysed *** contrast,7 of the 9 furniture foam samples were treated with tris(2-chloroisopropyl)phosphate(TCIPP)at a mean concentration of 1.9%w/w,with another single foam sample containing tris(1,3-dichloroisopropyl)phosphate(TDCIPP)and tris(2-chloroethyl)phosphate(TCEP)at 1.1 and 0.5%*** comparison,PBDE concentrations are within the range reported previously for UK indoor dust[18],rather than the percent by weight levels required to impart flame retardancy.
