T1 - Emission of Flame Retardants from Consumer Products and Building Materials N2 - The emission levels of high boiling brominated (BFR) and phosphoric (POC) flame retardants (FR) in different materials were examined. For the determination of the emission rate the tests were done in different emission test chambers and cells under standard conditions (23 C, 50% RH and fixed area specific air flow rates). Selected products, e.g. printed circuit boards, were investigated at elevated temperature (e.g. 60 C) to simulate working conditions. Applied analytical techniques for the air samples adsorbed on polyurethane foam (PUF) are soxhlet and ultrasonic extraction. Different conditions were used to analyse the FR via GC-MS. Based on the first results it could be demonstrated that the emission depends on material density and surface condition. The concentrations over time obtained for tris(3-chloropropyl)-phosphate, e.g., from emission test chamber and cell show a good correlation, partly the measured concentration are different. Sampling at elevated temperature gives higher concentrations.
