the fire safety of these materials. Its ability to suppress combustion effectively makes it a sought-after choice in industries concerned with fire prevention. However, its widespread application also leads to its dispersion in the environment. Additionally, HBB can undergo proto bromination reactions when treated with sodium methoxide in methanol and ethyl methyl ketone, yielding a mixture of tribromobenzene.Despite its efficacy in fire retardation, the environmental and health impacts of HBB underscore the importance of careful handling and monitoring in its utilization.

Hexabromobenzene (HBB) finds extensive use as a fire retardant additive in a range of materials including plastics, paper, and electrical goods, where it serves as a top-tier flame retardant. With an impressive melting point of 327 °C and a high bromide content of 86%, HBB significantly enhances

hexabromobenzene also serves as one of the key polyhalogenated aromatic compounds used in the bottom-up synthesis process of graphene-like films. Through electrochemical reduction, HBB contributes to the formation of polyaromatic ring structures alongside other compounds like hexafluorobenzene (HFB)

Notably, the acute toxicity of HBB is observed to decrease with an increase in the number of bromine atoms in the molecule. However, the potential for necrotic changes varies based on the position of these bromine atoms within the molecule. There are severe health risks associated with HBB exposure,

for this hazard. Additionally, it induces skin and eye irritation, classified under category 2 for both. Moreover, HBB is known to cause skin sensitization (category 1) and specific target organ toxicity upon single exposure (category 3), with the respiratory system being the primary target organ.

Hexabromobenzene (HBB) poses significant dangers due to its toxicity profile as classified by the GHS (Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals). Classified as GHS07, HBB exhibits acute toxicity via oral, dermal, and inhalation routes, categorizing it under category 4

Hexabromobenzene (HBB) was utilized in a study investigating its metabolic fate in female rats, wherein the substance was orally administered at doses of 16.6 mg/kg body weight every other day for a span of 2 weeks. Analysis of the rats' excreta revealed the presence of various metabolites,
