In utero exposure to flame retardant results in altered brain development in newborn rats

A new study from North Carolina State University shows that exposure in utero to the flame retardant FireMaster 550 (FM 550), or to its individual brominated (BFR) or organophosphate ester (OPFR) components, resulted in altered brain development in newborn rats.
