Flame retardants are chemical substances that are intended to mitigate fire safety risks posed by a range of goods including furniture, electronics, and building insulation. There are growing concerns about their effectiveness in ensuring fire safety and the potential harms they pose to human health and the environment. In response to these concerns, on 13 June 2022, a roundtable of experts was convened by the UKRI Six Clean Air Strategic Priorities Fund programme 7. The meeting produced a Consensus Statement that summarises the issues around the use of flame retardants, laying out a series of policy recommendations that should lead to more effective fire safety measures and reduce the human and environmental health risks posed by these potentially toxic chemicals.
阻燃剂是旨在降低包括家具、电子产品和建筑隔热材料在内的一系列物品所带来的消防安全风险的化学物质。人们越来越担心它们在确保消防安全方面的有效性，以及它们对人类健康和环境造成的潜在危害。为回应这些担忧，2022年6月13日，英国研究与创新署（UKRI）的“六项清洁空气战略优先事项基金”项目7召集了一次专家圆桌会议。会议产生了一份《共识声明》，总结了围绕阻燃剂使用的问题，提出了一系列政策建议，这些建议应能带来更有效的消防安全措施，并降低这些潜在有毒化学物质对人类和环境健康造成的风险。
