Fire retardant sprays got a lot of attention in the last few years. In 1977, the first flame retardants, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were banned , after it was discovered, that they were poisonous. The industry then started to use brominated flame retardants, however these substances have currently come under scrutiny as well. A few types of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PDBEs) have been banned by the EU in 2008, 10 years after Sweden discovered that they were accumulating in breast milk. Almost every tested American had traces of flame retardants in their bodies.

Recently, some of this contamination has been linked to dust on television sets, which could be generated from the TV heating up the flame retardants on the TV set. Inappropriate disposal of TVs and other electrical appliances, like microwaves or old computers, will significantly damage the environment. The water based fire retardant spray BURNSTOP® is odour- and colourless and does not contains bromine compounds or propellants!
