NCIt related terms : TRIS(2,3-DIBROMOPROPYL) PHOSPHATE;
NCIt definition : A synthetic, colorless or pale yellow liquid that is insoluble in water and miscible
with carbon tetrachloride, chloroform and methylene chloride. TRIS-BP is no longer
used in the United States. The primary routes of human exposure to TRIS-BP are inhalation,
dermal contact and ingestion. Since this compound is no longer produced in the United
States, the risk of exposure is low. However, TRIS-BP persists in fabric and plastics,
making occupational and consumer exposure possible. Contact with this chemical can
irritate the eyes and skin. It is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.
