Abstract: Abbreviations for flame retardants substituted with bromine or chlorine atoms or including a functional group containing phosphorus have been developed. This chapter presents a collection of abbreviations of functional groups or corresponding entities in a molecule that can be applied when constructing structured abbreviations. It describes the bromine-based flame retardant determination and discusses the assessment of hazards and toxicity of flame retardants, including human health hazards, tetrabromobisphenol A, and phosphorus flame retardants. The chapter provides information on the standards for testing flame retardants and burning properties, and summarizes some goals of these standards. It presents an insight into the environmental impacts of flame retardant chemicals. The life cycle assessment of flame retardants chemicals provides a global knowledge of the environmental performance of flame retardant chemicals and nanomaterials in all life stages.
