A new study by the University of California Public Health Institute found that foam furniture, carpets and other consumer home textile products can cause children's developmental disorders. The reason is that these products contain polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). According to the university's research, pentaerythritol is among the PBDEs. U.S. authorities claim that this pest has been completely eliminated, but the foam still releases PBDEs based on PrTe. Since most of this material is used for flame retarding textiles, it is a composite material in which the actual content of toxic gas is high. This harmful chemical can remain in the room for many years.

The study also stated that the long-term exposure of mothers and children to the slow evaporation of flame-retardant compounds can easily lead to mental retardation, affect development, and especially affect the intellectual development of school-aged children. According to the report of the US Environmental Protection Agency, manufacturing industries in the United States stopped using harmful chemicals such as PBDEs and octaBDE. However, according to a new study by the university, even if these flame retardant materials are banned, many households in the United States still use the products before 2004.

A few months ago, Chicago's "Blue News" conducted a survey on household fire-retardant materials. They found that the harmful substance immediately exceeded the standard and immediately urged the government to hold a hearing. At present, they have already issued two studies in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, stating that although the United States has been eliminating PBDE since 2004, it still has such harmful substances in home textiles. Also found in products other than home textiles, such as furniture and appliances. .

One of them is the collaboration of Dr. Alan Bloom and scientists at the University of the Duke. They found that the banned TDBPP in the United States in 1977 could still be tested in children's sleepwear. And more than one-third of home sofas in the United States have such harmful substances. Alan, director of the US Institute of Green Science and Policy, said that the harmful substances that were banned 35 years ago still remain in children's clothing and home textiles. It is hard to believe.

Another scientist, known as the Serent Spring Institute, also said that in 2006 they found that household chemistry was still a serious problem. They collected dust from 16 families in California for laboratory analysis. In 2011 they again collected dust from these families. A total of 49 household fire-retardant chemical drugs were tested, especially from children's rooms. They found 44 chemical drugs, of which 36 were found in 50% of the samples. Some of these harmful substances are exceedingly severe.

A substance known as Penta-BDE was found to be higher than the results of a sampling inspection in 2006 during a sampling inspection in 2011. This shows that the pest is increasing rather than decreasing. Although Penta-BDE has long been included in the prohibition, it is still popular.

Second, the highest concentration is chlorinated organophosphate flame retardant textiles. This chemical contains TCEP and TDCIPP, which have long been listed on the banned list because they are carcinogens. For this reason, experts called people to be alert and aware of the harmfulness of flame-retardant fabrics, because California lighting standards directly affect the entire US market. Undoubtedly, the latest research data will exert pressure on the U.S. government because the standards developed in the past did not have an effective role.
