Flame retardants usually emit a special odor, which varies depending on the type of flame retardant used.
Halogen containing flame retardants may have some pungent odors, similar to the smell of chemicals. This is because halogenated flame retardants release gases such as hydrogen halides during combustion, which have a certain irritating odor.
The taste of halogen-free flame retardants is relatively light. For example, inorganic flame retardants such as aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide generally have a light odor and may have a scent similar to soil or minerals. Phosphorus based flame retardants may have a burnt like odor, but typically have a lower odor than halogenated flame retardants.
Overall, the smell of flame retardants is often unpleasant and may cause certain irritation to the human body. In environments where flame retardants are used, good ventilation should be maintained to reduce the impact of odors on human health.
