The authors have compiled the mass spectra of all 209 congeners of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and around 100 other halogenated and phosphate flame retardant chemicals. This book describes the advances in this field. In recent years, the phase-out of some "legacy" flame retardants has prompted syntheses and large-scale production of a variety of new flame retardants, causing a new wave of environmental monitoring and research on these "emerging" chemicals.
