Indoor Contamination with Flame Retardant Chemicals: Causes and Impacts (INFLAME)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

"The main research goal is to further understanding of how and to what extent flame retardant (FR) chemicals used in every-day consumer goods and construction materials enter humans and of the risk to health that such exposure presents. Our vision is that this enhanced understanding will inform assessment of risk associated both with recent and current-use flame retardant chemicals, and of those u ...

Synergising INTERnational Studies of Environmental Contamination with Organic FLAME Retardant Chemicals (INTERFLAME)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

"INTERFLAME aims to enhance scientific understanding of how and to what extent organic flame retardant (FR) chemicals present in consumer goods and materials contaminate the environment, with particular reference to humans and wildlife. INTERFLAME’s twin foci are exposure arising from indoor contamination and monitoring the efficacy of recent actions designed to reduce environmental levels. Recent ...

PERFluorinated Organics in Our Diet (PERFOOD)

Start date: Aug 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Proposal summary Anthropogenic perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) have recently gained socio-economic and scientific interest. PFCs constitute a newly emanating group of environmental contaminants, with physico-chemical as well as toxicological properties different from those of other halogenated compounds. PFCs are generally persistent in the environment, and can be found over a broad concentration ...
