General description

3,3′,5,5′-Tetrabromobisphenol A is a brominated derivative of bisphenol A commonly used as a flame retardant. It finds applications in a variety of consumer products ranging from fabrics to plastics and electronics. Its removal from the aquatic environment using the environmental-friendly chitosan (CS)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofibrous membranes is reported.

Application

3,3′,5,5′-Tetrabromobisphenol A may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in air samples and sediment/sludge samples using chromatography techniques.

Neurotoxicological data on the widely used brominated flame retardant tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBPA) is limited. Since recent studies indicated that inhibitory GABA(A) and excitatory α(4)β(2) nicotinic acetylcholine (nACh) receptors are sensitive targets for persistent organic pollutants, we investigated the effects of TBBPA
