Review
Toxicological Risks of Selected Flame-Retardant Chemicals
Excerpt
This report evaluates toxicological, epidemiological, and exposure data on the 16 specified flame-retardant (FR) chemicals, and characterizes risks to human health from exposure to furniture upholstery treated with such chemicals. It is hoped that the findings of the report will be useful to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and Congress in making decisions regarding the safe use of FR chemicals in upholstered furniture fabric.
