The EPA has identified several safer alternatives to toxic flame retardants

The U.
S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced safer alternatives to several classes of toxic flame retardants commonly used in consumer and commercial products, including building insulation and polyurethane foam products
.
The agency has identified butadiene-styrene brominated copolymer as a safer alternative to hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD)
used in polystyrene building insulation.
In addition, oligomeric phosphonate polyol has been identified as a safer alternative to pentaBDE
.

The EPA says flame retardant chemicals, such as HBCD and pentaBDE, have raised health and environmental concerns, including potential reproductive, developmental and neurological effects that may be persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic to
aquatic life.
As a result, many states in the United States have established restrictions on these flame retardants
.
