The effect of 2,2-bis(bromomethyl)-1,3-propanediol (BMP) on reproduction in Swiss CD-1 mice was evaluated by use of a continuous breeding protocol. BMP was administered in the feed at 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4% concentrations. Both male and female F0 mice (20 pairs

This study investigates the mechanisms controlling the distribution of 3-bromo-2,2-bis(bromomethyl)propanol (TBNPA) and 2,2-bis(bromomethyl)propan-1,3-diol (DBNPG) in a fractured chalk aquitard. An extensive monitoring program showed a systematic decrease in the TBNPA/DBNPG ratio with distance from the contamination source. Sorption of TBNPA

2,2-Bis(bromomethyl)-1,3-propanediol (BMP) is a brominated flame retardant, previously shown to be a multisite carcinogen in experimental animals. Studies were performed to characterize the dispositional and metabolic fate of BMP after oral or intravenous administration to male Fischer-344 rats. After a
