Description
Flame retardants (THPC) used in textile processing are discharged into surface waters. However, THPC enters aquatic environments in mixture with ammonium and hydrogen peroxide, potentially affecting zooplankton in unpredictable ways. Surprisingly, zooplankton mortality appeared to be affected only by the presence of THPC, whether alone or mixed with other chemicals.
