Abstract

This report discusses the physicochemical properties, applications, and environmental impacts of 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10-hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), a widely used brominated flame retardant. The report highlights HBCD's persistence, bioaccumulation, long-range transport and toxicity profile, as well as its potential for water pollution and human health impacts.
