What Does PBB Stand For?

PBB stands for Polybrominated Biphenyl

Polybrominated Biphenyl (PBB) refers to a group of synthetic organic chemicals that contain bromine and are used as flame retardants. PBBs are primarily utilized in various industries to reduce flammability in plastics, textiles, and other materials. However, due to their persistent nature in the environment and potential health risks, including endocrine disruption and bioaccumulation, the use of PBBs has been restricted or banned in many countries. Environmental and health agencies continue to monitor and study the impact of PBBs on human health and ecosystems.
