Furniture contains flame retardants or can cause cancer

It is a pleasant thing to lie down and relax on a sofa chair after a hard day at home . However, if your sofa contains a certain harmful substance, it will cause cancer or reproductive disorders. I am afraid you will not be happy.



Recently, a new study by Duke University published in the "Journal of Environmental Science and Technology" showed that in order to prevent fires, some furniture products made of petroleum extracts will be added pentabromobiphenyl in the manufacturing process. The flame retardant components of ether (PentaBD) or trishydroxymethylaminomethane (or phosphotriesters) can hinder the development of children's nervous system and cause cancer. Another research report published in the "Journal of Environmental Science and Technology" by Robin Dodson, a researcher of "The Quiet Spring Association" of the US non-profit environmental protection organization, shows that the content of flame retardants in the dust of California residents in the United States has long been The safety limit has been exceeded. In 32 different dust samples, she detected 55 different flame retardant compounds, some of which had a sufficient concentration to cause cancer. These furniture products will gradually release toxic chemicals, especially when there is a rupture, the toxic substances will "spray" out, merge into the dust or be sucked into the lungs. According to the test report of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, 85% of furniture materials on the market already have fire resistance properties, and there is no need to add these chemicals. Flame retardants are an excessive protection measure.



Flame retardants in furniture products are also relatively common in China, and are mostly used in canvas products and polyester fabrics. According to the national "Flame Retardant Products Label Management Measures (Implementation)" regulations, flame retardant products should be qualified by the inspection agency engaged in flame retardant product combustion performance inspection, and add the flame retardant product label, consumers should be clear when buying. In addition, it is best to buy linen or wool, natural materials such as furniture, which itself has a fire-resistant properties; when the furniture is damaged, should be promptly replaced with new; usually have to constantly wipe with a damp cloth to dust at home, or Use a vacuum cleaner to suck up the dust; wash your hands often, and wash your hands thoroughly after touching furniture products to reduce the amount of flame retardant entering the human body.
