retardant

I get close to zero benefit from fire retardant foam in my couch, probably less than the financial cost of the chemicals.

We know some of these flame retardants disrupt thyroid hormones and may impair neurodevelopment.

Perhaps the purported flame-retardant chemicals don't prevent as many fires as people suppose.

!Nothing says "management really, really screwed up" than a smoking pile of brand new tech, being doused with fire-retardant foam, while the world asks questions like "why is our technology failing us?

Chlorine trifluoride and gases like it have been reported to ignite sand, asbestos, and other highly fire-retardant materials.

FYI, the California fire retardants law was recently repealed after that nytimes article brought it to everybody's attention.

For example, the fire retardant chemicals they use in manufacturing things like baby mattresses, which have been shown to cause neurological issues, especially in children.

I feel like the article is missing a basic analysis of whether there would be more deaths by an increased number of fires caused by removing the fire retardant, or by cancer cancer caused by fire retardant.

I have a two year old daughter who drinks out of clear plastic bottles and sleeps on a mattress containing fire retardant chemicals, and at the end of the day by far the biggest risk I expose her to is driving down to her grandparents' on the weekend.

Why do government agencies like the EPA exist when they can't say anything about the safety of chemicals that are in couches in probably in upwards of 95% of homes in America?It wouldn't surprise me if a flame retardant manufacturer was behind the law to begin with, which is even more disgusting.
