Environmental requirements
Flame retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables,
wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at
least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a
computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most
flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame
retardants are chemically related to another group of
environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants
containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of
giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive
damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the
bioaccumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been found
in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus
development may occur.
