Elemental and methyl mercury are toxic to the central and peripheral nervous systems. Land, water, and other surfaces can repeatedly re-emit mercury into the atmosphere after its initial release into the environment. Thus, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) regulation in 2012, and then in July 2020, EPA revised the 2012 National Emission Standards of Hazardous Pollutants, known as the Mercury Air Toxics Standards. This in turn is expected to increase the demand for bromine derivatives worldwide, especially in the U.S.
Bromine Derivatives are commonly employed in mercury emission control and halogenated flame retardant formulations. Furthermore, bromine derivatives are employed in the production of rechargeable batteries. Pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and electronics, as well as expanding building, are some of the end-use applications of bromine compounds.
