Cancer Inducing Flame Retardant Increases with Commute Time in UCR Students


The research of ETOX student Aaly Reddam, Professor Dave Volz and collaborators on exposure of UCR students to organophosphate flame retardants in vehicles while commuting has recently been published in the journal Environment International.  One key finding of their research was that exposure to tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCIPP), a flame retardant on the state of California's list of carcinogens, increased with the length of the students' commute.  Their work has been highlighted in UCR News and also picked by other news aggregators.  Our congratulations to Aaly and Dave for their publication and the recognition that it is getting.   [The photo from the graphical abstract of their journal article shows the blue silicone wristband which was used to monitor the students' exposures.]
