Nielsen, Köpenhamn Catarina Nordander, Lund Torben Sigsgaard, Århus Staffan Skerfving, Lund Gerd Sällsten, Göteborg Allan Toomingas, Stockholm Ewa Wikström, Göteborg Eva Vingård, Uppsala Preface The main task of the Nordic Expert Group for Criteria Documentation of Health Risks from Chemicals (NEG) is to produce criteria documents to be used by the regulatory authorities as the scientific basis for setting occupational exposure limits for chemical substances. For each document, NEG appoints one or several authors. An evaluation is made of all relevant published, peer-reviewed original literature found. The document aims at establishing dose-response/dose-effect relationships and defining a critical effect. No numerical values for occupational exposure limits are proposed. Whereas NEG adopts the document by consensus procedures, thereby granting the quality and conclusions, the authors are re- sponsible for the factual content of the document. The evaluation of the literature and the drafting of this document on Phosphate triesters with flame retardant properties were done by Dr. Bengt Sjögren, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, Dr. Anders Iregren and Dr. Jill Järnberg, Swedish Work Environment Authority, Sweden. The draft versions were discussed within NEG and the final version was accepted by the present NEG experts on September 28, 2009. Editorial work and technical editing were performed by the NEG secre- tariat. The following present and former experts participated in the elaboration of the document: Present NEG experts Gunnar Johanson Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden Kristina Kjærheim Cancer Registry of Norway Anne Thoustrup Saber National Research Centre for the Working Environment, Denmark Tiina Santonen Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, Finland Vidar Skaug National Institute of Occupational Health, Norway Mattias Öberg Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden Former NEG experts Maria Albin Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Lund University Hospital, Sweden Vidir Kristjansson Administration of Occupational Safety and Health, Iceland Kai Savolainen Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, Finland Karin Sørig Hougaard National Research Centre for the Working Environment, Denmark NEG secretariat Jill Järnberg and Swedish Work Environment Authority, Sweden Anna-Karin Alexandrie This work was financially supported by the Swedish Work Environment Authority, the former Swedish National Institute for Working Life, and the Norwegian Ministry of Labour.

Introduction Phosphate esters are frequently utilised as flame retardants and plasticisers but also as stabilisers and additives in products such as floor polishes, lubricants and hydraulic fluids. Both phosphorous and chlorine provide the flame retardant pro- perties. The organic parts of the molecule make it possible for the substance to be incorporated in organic materials. These parts can also interpose themselves between the polymer chains in a plastic and in that way plasticise it. The global consumption of organophosphorus compounds used as flame retardants was estimated to about 207 000 tonnes in 2004 and the consumption is expected to increase (52). In Western Europe, the consumption, evenly distributed between chlorinated phosphate and non-chlorinated organophosphorus flame retardants, increased from 58 000 to 83 000 tons between the years 1998 and 2001 (145). In 2006, the estimated annual consumption of chlorinated phosphate and non-chlorinated organophosphorus flame retardants within the European Union (EU) was 51 000 and 40 000 tons, respectively (52). This document reviews some phosphate triesters with flame retardant properties, as particularly requested by the Swedish Work Environment Authority. The phosphorylated mono- and diesters

  • (VOC) and Organophosphate Flame Retardants (OPFR) in Building Materials
    Identification of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and organophosphate flame retardants (OPFR) in building materials Daniel Duberg 2017-05-29 Exam project, 15 HP, Chemistry Supervisor: Thanh Wang, Josefin Persson Examiner: Tuulia Hyötyläinen Abstract Humans today spend most of their time in various indoor settings such as housing, schools and workplaces. The quality of the indoor environment is therefore of great significance for our wellbeing. However, it has been suggested that the indoor environment contains over 6000 organic compounds, such as various volatile organic compounds (VOC). Around 500 of these compounds is believed to be due to emissions from different surrounding building materials such as insulation, plastic film, sealants and flooring. This study targeted building materials from three low energy preschools that were sampled and analyzed for emissions of VOCs and nine different organophosphate flame retardant compounds (OPFR) using a gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer (GC/MS). Low energy buildings are buildings that is particularly air tight to be so energy efficient as possible. The study uses a qualitative approach and therefore mainly identifies possible contribution from building materials to indoor environment. More than 100 different VOCs was identified and the most noticeable were meta-, ortho- and para-xylene, toluene, n-hexane and propylene glycol, all but the last compound is associated with hazardous health effects. The building materials that emitted the largest amounts of VOCs was sealants and adhesives. Linoleum flooring and acrylic was also large emitters. Tris(1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TCIPP) were identified in all samples and all nine targeted OPFR compounds were identified in the various material samples and dust samples.

Michael Brown1, Baptiste Journaux1, Werner 6 Kaminsky2, Anna Pakhomova3 7 1 Department of Earth and Space Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, 8 98195, USA 9 2 Department of Chemistry, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, 98195, USA 10 3 Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, Hamburg, 22607, Germany 11 12 Abstract 13 In the water-carbon dioxide system, above a pressure of 4.4 GPa, a crystalline phase consisting 14 of an adduct of the two substances can be observed to exist in equilibrium with the aqueous fluid. 15 The phase had been found to be triclinic, and its unit cell parameters determined, but the full 16 crystalline, and even molecular, structure remained undetermined. Here, we report new diamond- 17 anvil cell, x-ray diffraction data of a quality sufficient to allow us to propose a full structure. The 18 crystal exists in the P1 space group. Unit cell parameters (at 6.5 GPa and 140°C) are 19 a = 5.8508(14) Å, b = 6.557(5) Å, c = 6.9513(6) Å, = 88.59(2), = 79.597(13), and 20 = 67.69(4). Direct solution for the heavy atoms (carbon and oxygen) revealed CO3 units, with 21 co-planar, but isolated, O units. Construction of a hydrogen network, in accordance with the 22 requirements of hydrogen bonding and with minimum allowed distances between non-bonded 1 23 atoms, indicates that the phase consists of a monohydrate of carbonic acid (H2CO3H2O) with the 24 carbonic acid molecule in the cis-trans configuration.
