Recently, a blockbuster news caused uproar in the chemical industry - China has completely stopped the production and use of hexabromocyclododecane. This bold action demonstrates China's strong determination to protect human health and the environment.
As a chemical substance, hexabromocyclododecane has a certain range of applications in industrial production in the past. However, with the deepening of scientific research, people gradually realize that it is a persistent organic pollutant. This kind of pollutant is like a "killer" hidden in the dark, it can remain in the environment for a long time, and continue to enrich through the food chain, posing a serious threat to human health. From potentially affecting the body's endocrine system to causing damage to the nervous system and immune system, the harm is not to be underestimated. At the same time, it will also cause damage to the ecological environment, affect biodiversity, and make the natural ecological balance face challenges.
China's move to stop its production and use this time is undoubtedly to strengthen the defense of human health and the environment. This action is a milestone for the brominated flame retardant industry. It is like a powerful lever to move the entire industry's product structure adjustment. Brominated flame retardant enterprises have to re-examine their own production direction, increase investment in research and development, and find more environmentally friendly and safe alternatives to adapt to this major change and develop in a greener and more sustainable direction.
