What Does PBDF Stand For?
PBDF stands for Polybrominated Dibenzofuran
Polybrominated Dibenzofuran (PBDF) refers to a group of chemical compounds that are derived from dibenzofuran and characterized by the addition of multiple bromine atoms. These compounds are of environmental concern due to their persistence, potential bioaccumulation, and toxic effects on wildlife and human health. PBDFs are often associated with the combustion of brominated flame retardants and other brominated organic materials, leading to their presence in various environmental media. Ongoing research aims to assess their environmental impact and establish safe management practices.
