Being aware of their toxicity, I would like to know if there is any reliable information on safety measures and handling precautions for working with brominated flame retardants.
I have attached a Material Safety Data Sheet for decabromo diphenyl ether (FR-1201). The approach to its safe handling and use is that common to many organic compounds. For instance, wear eye protective, gloves and lab coat work with it in a well ventilated area (fume hood). I hope this answers your question.
Any substance a related MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) - it is a strict requirement for the substance to be produced. Thus in no time from Google you will have all the Info concerning safety, handling . you need. You'll also learn some frightening details - most of which you may and should consider as excessive.
