BRUSSELS -- A new study from the University of Würzburg undertaken for the EU FIRE project confirms the conclusion that TBBPA poses no health risks.
Previous studies on TBBPA carried out under the EU FIRE project have reached the same conclusion, as did the EU human health risk assessment report which identified no risk to human health.
TBBPA is used to comply with global fire safety requirements mainly as a reactive chemical in epoxy resins of FR4 PCB laminates and as an additive to ABS plastics.
Results of the study of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) in human and rats after oral administration suggest a very low systemic bioavailability of TBBPA after oral administration due to efficient hepatic metabolism and biliary excretion of conjugates formed.

SAN DIEGO -- Goodwill Industries of San Diego County and Dell have introduced Reconnect San Diego, a free drop-off program to recycle unwanted computers. The pilot program aims to divert at least 2 million pounds of used computers and computer equipment from landfills over one year and to provide consumer education on the importance of proper computer disposal -- while creating job opportunities for individuals with disabilities and other employment barriers.
San Diego residents can visit www.reconnectpartnership.com or www.sdgoodwill.org to locate a convenient Goodwill donation centers. Goodwill will sort the donated computer equipment, which will be recycled through the Dell Asset Recovery Services value recovery program. Dell's authorized product recovery partner will remarket the recycled materials, such as plastics, glass and metals, and all sales proceeds will go to Goodwill to support the non-profit's job training and employment services programs.
“This new alliance will really expand our existing electronics recycling program and further Goodwill’s mission at the same time," said Mike Rowan, CEO of Goodwill Industries of San Diego County. “Working with Dell will help us ensure we are implementing the latest environmentally sound recycling practices.”
Reconnect San Diego is the latest in a series of Dell environmental initiatives to raise awareness of the importance of responsibly recycling computers and increase recycling participation rates. Other Reconnect pilot programs are under way in Central Texas, Michigan and the San Francisco Bay area.
