2,2-Bis(bromomethyl)-1,3-propanediol

Manufacturing and use of flame‑retardant resins, coatings, and plastics; small amounts may be present as unreacted ingredient in finished products or released during processing and disposal [2].

Mainly at work through skin contact or breathing dust/fumes during production, mixing, molding, cutting, or sanding treated materials; the general public may encounter low levels in dust near use or manufacturing sites [2].

Caused tumors in multiple organs in rats and mice; human cancer risk is uncertain but of concern. Also causes skin/eye irritation and allergic skin reactions [1][2].

Workers in plastics/resins, composite fabrication, and recycling; maintenance staff cutting or sanding FR panels; people living near production or waste sites [1][2].

At work, use closed systems, local exhaust, and wear chemical‑resistant gloves, eye/face protection, and protective clothing; follow your SDS. At home, avoid creating dust from treated materials, wet‑wipe and HEPA‑vacuum, and choose products labeled flame‑retardant‑free when feasible [2].
