Article Abstract
Tetrabromobisphenol A bis (allyl ether) (TBBPA-BAE) represents an extensively used brominated flame retardant (BFRs) in the production of many fields and their phototransformation in natural water is still unclear. The environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) with preserved activities could exist in the environment for a long time and involve in the phototransformation of many organic pollutants. Here, the photodegradation of TBBPA-BAE with the degradation rate constant (k = 0.060 h) under simulate sunlight and the promoting effect of EPFRs on TBBPA-BAE photodegradation (k = 0.135 h) were investigated. According to the detected photogenerated electrons (e) and singlet oxygen (O) rather than hydroxyl radicals (•OH) by the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), the effect mechanism may not be related to the typical •OH induced by EPFRs. The possible transformation pathways of the ether cleavage, hydrolysis and hydroxylation of propenyl bond and the debromination were proposed by the primary byproducts identified by UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS. EPFRs caused a further debromination and ether cleavage and probably be due to EPFRs directly providing electrons to TBBPA-BAE which promoted the photodegradation of TBBPA-BAE, and their reaction mechanism needed further attention. Overall, this study provided useful information to understand the role of EPFRs on phototransformation of TBBPA-BAE in water.

Background: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) requires the simultaneous maintenance of enzyme activity and the efficient labelling of the enzymes on the antibodies. Challenges in ELISA include the enzyme decomposition under harsh conditions and the requirement for secondary antibodies for binding. Preserving enzyme activity and simplifying antibody binding is a crucial prerequisite for expanding the applications of ELISA.

The limitation of legacy hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs) and increasing usage of emerging brominated flame retardant (BFR) tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) resulted in their co-exposure to organisms. In this study, domestic chicken and environmental samples collected near a BFR manufacturing zone were analyzed to determine the bioaccumulation and transfer of HBCDs and TBBPA. The mean concentrations of ∑HBCDs, TBBPA, ∑TBBPA-related derivatives, ∑TBBPA-related byproducts, and ∑TBBPA-related transformation products in chicken tissues were 1207, 0.

Tetrabromobisphenol A-bis(2,3-dibromopropyl ether) (TBBPA-DBPE), as a new type of flame retardant, is widely used in electronic equipment. During its degradation process, some toxic brominated compounds can be produced and released into the environment, causing great harm to human health and the ecological environment. There are relatively few in-depth theoretical studies on the pyrolysis mechanism of TBBPA-DBPE, therefore, the evolution mechanism of thermal degradation products of TBBPA-DBPE is studied in detail by using the density functional theory method in this paper.

Tetrabromobisphenol A-bis (2,3-dibromopropyl ether) (TBBPA-BDBPE), a novel brominated flame retardant, is increasingly utilized across various industries due to its effective flame-retardant properties. However, its potential gestational toxicity has not been thoroughly investigated, raising concerns about its impact on maternal and fetal health. In this study, we explored the effects of TBBPA-BDBPE on fetal growth restriction (FGR) and placental trophoblast ferroptosis through a comprehensive approach that included both in vivo and in vitro experiments.

Information on contamination status of tetrabromobisphenol, and triazine-based novel brominated flame retardants (NBFRs) in sediment environment is very rare. Here, by use of high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole orbitrap mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-Orbitrap/MS), we developed an analytical method for determination of three tetrabromobisphenol, and two triazine-based FRs in sediment samples. By applying this method for analysis of n = 6 sediment samples from a flame retardant manufacturing factory, we observed that total concentrations of 6 NBFRs (∑NBFRs) ranged from 7.
