The Stockholm Convention Conference decided to phase out HBCD

The Stockholm Convention meeting in May 2013 decided to phase out the flame retardant hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD).

HBCD is a flame retardant that is still widely used worldwide, mainly in building insulation, but also in textiles and electronic equipment
.
At present, the annual global production of HBCD is about 28,000 tons
.
HBCD is a persistent toxic substance that has been found in the Arctic environment
.
The substance is absorbed in large quantities by organisms, affects the reproductive system, and has been shown to be toxic
to aquatic organisms.
