Environment related objective
To reduce emissions of decaBDE in the medium to long term and no significant costs to producers and downstream users are expected, taking into account the proposed exemptions. decaBDE is widely used as a flame retardant in particular in textiles and plastics. The persistent and bioccumulative properties of decaBDE give rise to specific concerns about its widespread distribution and potential to cause irreversible long-term harm to the environment , even after emissions have ceased. The toxicity of decaBDE has been determined based on the toxicity of its breakdown products.
