Summary:

This report deals with 2 4 6-tribromophenol (2 4 6-TBP) and other simple brominated phenols with a single benzene ring. However information on toxicity ecotoxicity and environmental fate on bromophenols other than 2 4 6-TBP is very limited. On the basis of the very limited data on concentrations of bromophenols in waters and sediment the present risk to aquatic organisms from 2 4 6-TBP in sediment would appear to be low. Insufficient data are available to make a meaningful risk assessment for other brominated phenols and for all brominated phenols in the terrestrial environment.
