Abstract

Determination of tris (1, 3-dichloroisopropyl) phosphate (TDCPP), a flame retardant, in commercial curtains and carpets was examined. TDCPP was extracted by refluxing in methanol, purified by deactivated alumina column chromatography and determined by gas chromatography with a flame photometric detector (FPD). Concentration of TDCPP in 35 commercial curtains analyzed ranged as follows : ND (not detected)-3300 μg/g in 16 polyester fibers, ND-40.5 μg/g in 10 acrylic and modacrylic fibers, ND in 7 other fibers. Concentrations of TDCPP in 12 commercial carpets analyzed ranged ND-660 μg/g.
