Ecological fate of organic pollutants: Hexabromocyclododecane Akhmedov B.A.1, Akhmedov S.M.2 1Researcher, Head of the Department of Termiz StatePedagogical Institute, Turdikulova Sevara, Uzbekistan 2Researcher, Head of the Department of Termiz StatePedagogical Institute, Turdikulova Sevara, Uzbekistan Online published on 17 November, 2023. Abstract This report discusses the physicochemical properties, applications, and environmental impacts of 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10-hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), a widely used brominated flame retardant. The report highlights HBCD's persistence, bioaccumulation, long-range transport and toxicity profile, as well as its potential for water pollution and human health impacts. Top Keywords Flame Retardant, Diastereomer, Persistence, Bioaccumulation, Solubility, Distribution Coefficient, Butadiene, Photochemical Decomposition, Biodegradation, Half-Life, Dehalogenation, Bioconcentration Factor, Expanded Polystyrene, Phenolic Foam, Fire Safety.
