Scientists discovered in the homes of many people mysterious polluter. It is distributed with the dust and enters the body through the skin.
An increased level of previously unknown contaminant found in the homes of many people, and also in terms of the nature of Canada and the United States. Known as TDTBPP pollutant applies to chemicals that are widely used as insecticides, they are quite toxic. Humans are exposed to this pollutant, inhaling infected dust, or through the skin, as experts stress. Researchers from Indiana University found that this pollutant is found not only in special plants for the processing of so-called e-waste, but also in the homes of ordinary people.
TDTBPP measurements were made in air, water and sediment, and house dust levels of the pollutant was very high. Note that TDTBPP is potentially toxic, since the degree of impact on the body in General science has not been studied. This chemical is used as a refractory material, as well as for increased flexibility, different kinds of consumer products. Similar composition of ingredients used in the manufacture of plastic, wires and electronic equipment.
Researchers call the results obtained confirm the fact that control of the spread of different kinds of chemicals in North America are at the wrong level. Chemical found almost everywhere, where previously nothing was known. Ingredients like TDTBPP are not subject to strict regulation authorities as long as they do not begin to use in some new directions. Therefore, for chemists it is very difficult to figure out how these pollutants penetrate into the environment, and what effect they can produce. (READ MORE)
