The Danish Environmental Protection Agency has started work to draft a national plan to control brominated flame retardants, and has published what officials claim to be the most exhaustive national survey analysing the flow of such substances and assessing possible substitutes for specific applications. The survey found that the major source of BFRs emissions in Denmark was from evaporation from products already in use, and underlines previous concerns about the possible harm due to bioaccumulation. Denmark is to join Sweden in urging international action to curb the use of brominated flame retardants.

This response is absolute nonsense. Sweden had banned the herbicide amitrole and several bis-dithiocarbamate fungicides because of flawed scientific evaluations that misinterpreted thyroid tumors in rodents, known to lack relevance for humans, as indicators of a human risk associated with normal usage. In contrast to Sweden s action, IARC and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cleared all of them of suspicions of causing cancer at current exposure levels,45 and the EU has approved amitrole for general use. Sweden s Minister of the Environment, Kj ell Lars-son, has declared that Sweden will fight all the way to the European Court of Justice to stop reintroduction of these horribly dangerous pesticides.
