Flame retardants are chemical products. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to its safety issues in production, storage, and use, otherwise it may cause some major accidents. This aspect is also valued by the government, enterprises, and consumers. In view of this situation, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the flame retardants used, and to do the safety work in each link in the correct way to prevent problems from occurring.

① Conduct a comprehensive toxicity assessment of flame retardants that are suspected to be harmful to human health and the environment, and strictly control their production, use, and ridicule. Once it is confirmed that it is not suitable for use, production and sales will cease. For example, tris(dibromopropyl) phosphate used to be a widely used and very effective flame retardant, but it was later found to be carcinogenic and has long been banned in many countries. The flame retardants pentabromodiphenyl ether and octabromodiphenyl ether, which are confirmed to be toxic after evaluation, have also been banned recently.

②For newly developed flame-retardant products, more comprehensive research and evaluation have been conducted regarding their impact on human health, safety and the environment. Can provide more detailed information about the above aspects to ensure the safety of production and use.

③What needs to be done now is to improve the quality of flame retardants and ensure safe work, while developing new flame retardants with relatively high safety and strong practicality. Gradually promote the application on a large scale. And there are reasons to believe that the development of new flame retardants will ensure the use of flame retardant materials, which can reduce fire hazards and minimize their impact on the environment.
