The flame retardant, tris(2,3-dibromopropyl)phosphate (tris-BP), which is a mutagen and causes cancer and sterility in animals is absorbed from fabric by people. 2,3-Dibromopropanol, a metabolite of tris-BP and a mutagen itself, was found in the urine samples of 10 children who were wearing or who wore-tris-BP-treated sleepwear. Eight of these children were wearing well-washed sleepwear and the possibility of absorption of tris-BP from well-washed sleepwear is discussed. 2,3-Dibromopropanol was not found in the urines of 1 child and 1 adult who never wore tris-BP-treated garments.
