Chemical Exposures Related to Upholstered Furniture and Other Consumer Products

摘要

With the increased awareness in product flammability and chemical exposure of flame retardants, current discussions are focused on processes for reducing both fire and exposure hazards. A preliminary study shows differences in flame retardant exposure and flammability performance from furniture made with and without flame retardants. The study also shows the presence of other chemicals that should be considered in evaluating chemical exposure risks.
