Hexabromocyclododecane: use in Belarus, problems of identification and prevention of environment pollution
Abstract
The brief overview of production and use of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) is given. HBCD is a persistent organic pollutant included in Stockholm Convention. The potential spheres of HBCD use in Belarus have been shown, the results of preliminary analysis of its flows into Belarus have been described. The potential manufacturing processes with HBCD use have been identified. Taking into account the international experience, the assessment of HBCD volume in styrofoams in Belarus is done.
