Advances in chemical analysis of flame-retardant residues in food
摘要
Since humanity first harnessed fire, various materials have been used to control or extinguish it. In the UK after the Great Fire of 1666, regulations on building materials used in London limited the use of wood or other combustibles. However, it was not until the early twentieth century that the industrial-scale production of chemical flame retardants (FRs) began. FRs are a diverse group of chemical substances incorporated into flammable products to inhibit the risk of combustion.1
