@article{Cordner2013ChemicalRO, title={Chemical regulation on fire: rapid policy advances on flame retardants.}, author={Alissa Cordner and Margaret Mulcahy and P. Brown}, journal={Environmental science & technology}, year={2013}, volume={47 13}, pages={ 7067-76 } }
Chemicals that are widely used in consumer products offer challenges to product manufacturers, risk managers, environmental regulators, environmental scientists, and the interested public. However, the factors that cause specific chemicals to rise to the level of regulatory, scientific, and social movement concern and scrutiny are not well documented, and scientists are frequently unclear about exactly how their research impacts policy. Through a case study of advocacy around flame retardant… CONTINUE READING
