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.

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. ...
