Your search - burmlated - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
Try different keywords.
Try more general keywords.

PBDE, which stands for polybrominated diphenyl ether

There are 101 things that could kill you without you knowing about them.

But you are more likely to be run over by a buss.

If your time is up, there is nothing you can do to avoid it.

polybrominated i think that was it Mouse, i may not heard the full name of it due to a tick talking in my ear as the new reporter was talking about it on the Tv-set.

so it's saying that if you set fire to your TV, then don't breathe in the smoke because it's bad for you?

isn't that always the isseu with burning plastics?


Oh and Chief, do you have more links? The treehugger site sounds like a, eh, trehugging greanpeace clone?
I haven't heard of this, and with all the mailings i get i should have seen something about it...

Or is it because the Europeans don't burn there tv to start a lawsuit to get money from the company's.. ( like the hot coffee incident with MCDonalds... Offcourse freshly made coffee is hot dumbass!!! )

[Steve]

lol i misread, it's some kind of vapour released when the monitor gets hot i think?

Small quote from William's link:

PBDEs also stay in our bodies, accumulating in our fatty tissue. The U.S. is the world’s largest maker and user of PBDEs, and levels found in Americans are as much as 100 times higher than in Europe, where most PDBEs were banned in 2001. North American levels, say scientists, are doubling every two to five years. Primarily, human exposure has been through eating fish, though babies can be exposed by drinking mother’s milk. Children are also exposed when they wear polyester pajamas treated with flame retardant. Indeed, PDBE chemicals easily “off-gas” from the very products they are designed to make safe.

That's why i didnt see anything about it.. We are ahead of the rest
