A US study has revealed that flame retardants commonly used in TVs, sofas and many other household items could cause health problems.
The chemicals used have been found to accumulate in the body potentially causing health problems.
If these flame retardant items are disposed of in an unsafe way, dangerous dioxins would be produced causing serious problems. This is a real danger for developing countries that dismantle electronic products for recycling.
