Our analysis indicates that, between 2006 and 2016, ∼230 thousand tonnes (kt) of DBDPE were produced in China; production, use and disposal activities led to the release of 196 tonnes of DBDPE to the environment. By the end of 2016, ∼152 kt of the DBDPE produced resided in in-use products across China. During the period 2000–2016, ∼39 kt of DBDPE were exported from China in EEE products, most of which (&amp;gt;50%) ended up in North America. Based on projected trends of China's DBDPE production, use and EEE exports, we predict that, by 2026, ∼74 and ∼14 kt of DBDPE originating in China will reside in in-use and waste stocks, respectively, in regions other than mainland China, which will act as long-term&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/emission-source&quot; title=&quot;Learn more about Emission Source from ScienceDirect&amp;#039;s AI-generated Topic Pages&quot;&gt;emission sources&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;of DBDPE worldwide. This study discusses the considerable impact of DBDPE originating in China and distributed globally through the international trade of EEE; this is projected to occur on a large scale in the near future, which necessitates countermeasures.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
