1-Bromo-3-phenoxybenzene is part of a group of compounds called polybrominated diphenyl ethers. 1-Bromo-3-phenoxybenzene, along with other similar compounds, are widely used in industry as brominated flame retardants. Unfortunately, with their release into the environment, they pose significant hazards to the humans and wildlife that live in surrounding areas. 1-Bromo-3-phenoxybenzene is also known to induce toxic effects on the central nervous system, the liver, and kidneys in rats.
