An integral element of the Green Screen is taking into account potential degradation products and metabolites. This is important given that chemicals in the environment are not static, they integrate into human and natural environments. Both decaBDE and BPADP scored lower on the Green Screen because of their breakdown products. In creating the Green Screen we have strived for a method that is transparent, that is scien- 40 tifically based, and that promotes rather than discourages taking action away from chemicals of very high concern to safer chemicals via informed substitution.

Htm. 62 RDP is referenced interchangeably with two Chemical Abstract Services Registry Numbers (CAS#): 5758354-7 and 125997-21-9. Syracuse Research Corporation (SRC) in its 2006 report—Flame Retardant Alternatives —to the Washington State Departments of Health and Ecology concluded that: “It is believed that the material used by industry for these applications is actually the polymeric material [CAS# 125997-21-9], and not the pure material [CAS# 57583-54-7], which is its major component. ” The same is true of BPADP, where two CAS#s are commonly referred to as BPADP (or BAPP): CAS# 5945-33-5 and 181028-79-5.
