This market resolves based on whether a replication attempt of the original study is published in a peer-reviewed journal or presented at a reputable scientific conference. The replication must test at least 100 household items for BFRs and OPFRs presence.

 found that flame retardants (FRs) were present in 85% of analyzed household products, with concentrations up to 22,800 mg/kg. These chemicals, including brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs), are commonly used in electronics but can pose health risks including carcinogenicity, endocrine disruption, and neurotoxicity. The study suggests these chemicals are entering household items through recycled electronic waste plastics.
