An overview of the (eco)toxicological effects of flame retardants emerging in water and sediment

Dowbysz Adriana M., Samsonowicz Mariola, Kukfisz Bożena

Journal of Water and Land Development

no. 59

44--49

Flame retardants (FRs) that have an adverse effect on human and the environment have been subject to regulation since 1972. However, FRs emerging as a replacement, are not proving to be fully environmentally safe. Water and sediment contamination by FRs, including organophosphorus (OPFRs) and novel brominated (NBFRs) ones, is a matter of major concern. Due to their common usage, many release sources, and relatively high mobility, they pose a threat to aquatic organisms and ecosystems. This review summarises studies on the OPFRs’, and NBFRs’ simultaneous occurrence in water and corresponding sediment. The main sources of occurrence and routes of entry of FRs into the environment are presented. The newest reports on the ecotoxicity of selected FRs had been summarised in order to bring the matter to attention. The research revealed that although great efforts had been made to study the occurrence of OPFRs and NBFRs in water and sediment separately, there is a lack of research on their occurrence in both media in the same area. Although major efforts have been made to study the ecotoxicity of OPFRs, there are some deficiencies for the NBFRs. Considering their relatively high ecotoxicity, further studies should be conducted on joint ecotoxicity, which may cause synergistic or antagonistic effects.

The aim of this study is to assess the environmental performance of the manufacturing process of glass/polyester laminates as well as estimate their fire behaviour and smoke release. The Life Cycle Assessment was conducted according to the ISO14040/44 standard by using the CML-IA 2000 Baseline Midpoint method. The cone calorimeter study was conducted using a cone calorimeter method according to ISO 5660. The tests were performed under 25 kW/m2 heat flux 50 kW/m2. The results showed that according to the requirements of the Fire Test Procedure (FTP) Code examined, laminates in this form cannot be used in some applications. The LCA study showed that the highest impact is attributed to marine aquatic ecotoxicity (88.3%), with the highest contribution of the unsaturated polyester resin and the glass fibre.

Celem pracy jest ocena wpływu procesu produkcji laminatów poliestrowo-szklanych na środowisko oraz ocena ich zachowania w warunkach pożaru. Ocenę cyklu życia przeprowadzono zgodnie z normą ISO14040/44, stosując metodę CML-IA 2000 Baseline. Badania kalorymetryczne przeprowadzono metodą kalorymetru stożkowego zgodnie z normą ISO 5660. Badania przeprowadzono przy gęstościach strumienia promieniowania cieplnego równych 25 kW/m2 i 50 kW/m2. Wyniki wykazały, że zgodnie z wymaganiami międzynarodowego kodeksu stosowania procedur prób ogniowych badane laminaty w tej postaci nie spełniają wymagań dotyczących niektórych zastosowań. Ocena cyklu życia wykazała, że proces produkcji laminatów oddziałuje w największym stopniu na toksyczność wody morskiej (88.3%), przy największym udziale nienasyconej żywicy poliestrowej i włókna szklanego.
