PBB 153（Cat No.:C001036）, also known as Polybrominated Biphenyl 153, is a synthetic organic compound. It is a member of the polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) family, which are brominated flame retardants. PBB 153 was historically used in various products, including electrical equipment, plastics, and textiles. However, due to its persistence in the environment and potential health risks, its usage has been restricted or banned in many countries. PBB 153 can accumulate in the food chain and may lead to adverse effects on human health, including endocrine disruption and developmental issues.
