Because of volatilization and leaching from their application in consumer and personal care products, phthalate esters are ubiquitous contaminants in indoor environment, and the levels found in dust from homes in different countries (Table 2), showed that the less volatile phthalates such as DEHP and BBP, are the predominant in dust samples [11,16, 74], and that the percentage of both carpet and plastic materials (furniture, decoration, and home electronics) could be associated with higher concentrations of BBP and DEHP in house dust [12, 74, 75]. The proportion of DiNP in house dust from Germany in 2009 [12], indicates that the... 

Despite restrictions, large amounts of foam furniture, baby products, carpets, plastics, and insulation containing BERs are still sources of exposure in homes and buildings, and must be disposed of after their lifetimes, creating outdoor reservoirs (e.g., landfills, wastewater treatment plants, e-waste recycling facilities, or stockpiles of hazardous wastes) for the future dispersal of PBDEs to the environment (Shaw and Kannan 2009). 

Spot replacement is the replacement of individual lamps as and when they fail. This is probably the most suitable method of maintaining small lighting installations in shops, offices and nursing homes, and is certainly the preferred method in domestic property. But each time a lamp is replaced or cleaned, a small disturbance occurs to the normal environment. Access equipment must be set up, furniture must be moved and the electrician chats to the people around him. In some environments this small disturbance and potential hazard from someone working on steps or a mobile tower is not acceptable and, therefore, group replacement of lamps must be considered.
