At BFR 2017 there was over 100 scientific presentations with authors and delegates from over 28 countries. The International Symposium on Flame Retardants (BFR) is a truly international conference with representation from all continents.
The 8th International Symposium on Flame Retardants, BFR 2017, was held in York (UK). The theme of the conference for this year was 'emerging BFR issues', and many abstracts were submitted on novel and emerging flame retardants in addition to new analytical and other scientific approaches to assess the risk to human and environmental health as a result of these compounds.
Information from the 2017 event, including the organising committees, programme summary, abstracts, and posters are included below.
Scientists produced 65 informational posters for the BFR 2017 event, covering topics ranging from flame retardants in abiotic environments, to Human Exposure to Flame retardants. All the posters for the event are downloadable from this page for your information and reference.
