Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27613672

The substance 2,4,6-Tribromophenol (TBP) is used as a flame retardant in electronic and electric devices, and is a replacement for pentachlorophenol in wood preservation. TBP is a contaminant in different environmental matrices, at levels where treatment is required. 2,4,6-Tribromophenol (bismuth tribromophenate) has been used individually and in combination to control microbial growth in burn wounds and on healing meshed skin graft.
