Phosphorus flame retardants are widely used in plastic products, textiles, upholstered furniture and children's products, and the market share increases because of its high stability and low toxicity. In recent years, consumers are increasingly concerned about the potential health risks of chemical flame retardants. The EU and the United States have been promoting the management and control of phosphorus flame retardants.
