A scientific study prepared by the lecturer at the College of Science, University of Basra, Dr. Laila Saleh Zaalan, in cooperation with a research team from the University of Birmingham, examined a meta-analysis of factors influencing concentrations of brominated flame retardants and organophosphate esters in indoor dust
The study, which was published in the journal Environmental Pollution and classified within Scopus containers, indicated a review of current assessments to assess the level of human exposure to brominated flame retardants and organophosphate esters, which are toxic and carcinogenic substances, after studies have proven that indoor dust in buildings such as homes and offices as well as vehicles is the main source Which expose human to these compounds
The results of the study were concluded by taking into consideration the four factors, which are the size of the dust particles that were analyzed, the place and time variation of the internal environment, in addition to the method used to sample when assessing human exposure to these pollutants in the future
