Environmental Requirements
Flame Retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, 
wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at 
least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a 
computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most 
flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame 
retardants are chemically related to another group of 
environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing 
bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to 
severe health effects, including reproductive damage in 
fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bioaccumulative 
processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and 
researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may 
occur.
