Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) Action Plan
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been widely used as flame retardants in a number of applications. EPA is concerned that some of the component congeners are persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic and intends to initiate a number of actions to limit the exposure and release of PBDE congeners and/or articles to which they have been added.
