Several countries have been given restrictions on the use of compounds because of potential toxic effects in humans. In the European Community, the use of tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate (EC Directive 76/769/EEC) and tris(l-aziridinyl)phosphine oxide (EC Directive 83/264/EEC) in textiles has been banned. In 1977, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission banned the use of tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate in children s clothing (ICPS, 1995). The European Community has also banned the use of PBBs in textiles (EC Directive 83/264/EEC). Several countries have either taken or proposed regulatory actions on PBBs. In addition, controls on the emissions of dioxins and furans from municipal solid waste incinerators have been implemented in the United Kingdom under the Environmental Protection Act (1990). Germany has developed rules for the maximum content of selected 2,3,7, and 8 substituted polychlorinated dibenzo-pura-dioxins and dibenzofurans in products. Recently, the European Commission has issued a proposal to ban the production and use of PentaBDE. In U.S. A., on the other hand, there are currently no regulations on PBDE production or use. PBBs have not been used widely in Europe and also in U.S.A. the production of the main mixture, hexabromobiphenyl (Firemaster BP-6), ceased in 1974, after the Michigan disaster. ...

Several toys and even some children s clothing change color with temperature. For example, a particular raincoat is purple at room temperature but changes to pink when cooled. When it first gets wet, the drops of cool water produce a splatter of pink color on the otherwise purple coat. Kids love the patterns that form as a result of the interaction between the cold water and the warmth of their body. Other toys change color at the point where they are touched because heat from a hand or finger changes the temperature of the surface of the toy. 

Children s Products and Clothing Children s exposure to BFRs is a particular concern due to their frequent hand-to-mouth behavior and contact with dust on floors and surface materials in homes. Exposure to chemicals in baby products is of even greater concern for infants, who are in intimate daily contact with these products at vulnerable stages of their development. Children s foam-containing products such as car seats, mattresses, pillows, and changing pads are sources of PentaBDEs, while children s clothing may be treated with DecaBDE (Table 3.2). Hard and soft plastic toys are sources of aU PBDE commercial mixtures (Penta-, Octa- and DecaBDEs).
