Description: Joint US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)-US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Flame Retardant Inventory: potential Flame Retardant substances identified from publicly-available materials. This encompasses EPA/CPSC reports, published literature, as well as publicly available information from manufacturers. For more information on the collection and curation process see the published article [Nature Scientific Data DOI will be inserted when available] and the published dataset [Figshare DOI for final dataset will be inserted when available].
Other curated lists based on the flame retardancy of these substances are available as listed below:
Likely Flame Retardants: A subset of the Joint US CPSC-US EPA Flame Retardant Inventory of substances that have undergone review by a panel of experts and have been identified as being likely flame retardants. In addition to expert opinion, substances’ flame retardancy were predicted with Quantitative Structure-Use Relationships (see Phillips, et al, 2017 for more information on this methodology). The list is available here.
Likely Organohalogen Flame Retardants: A subset of the Join US CPSC-US EPA Flame Retardant Inventory of substances that have undergone review by a panel of experts and have been identified as being likely organohalogen flame retardants (i.e., substances that are likely flame retardants and have at least one Carbon-Halogen bond). In addition to expert opinion, substances’ flame retardancy and organohalogen structure were bolstered by use of Quantitative Structure-Use Relationships (see Phillips, et al, 2017 for more information on this methodology). The list is available here.
