I'm gradually replacing all carpet w/hardwood floors, two rooms to go. Probably that'll be just about when they find something in hardwood floors that's a danger. The article also said, though, that it's in our monitor and in our chair. So what are we supposed to do about that?

Just be aware of it & watch for health changes I suppose. I don't know
if it is listed on tagged products or not. The chemical is in many
products as the article said.......


"The small study looks at chemical flame retardants called polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), which were used in foam, plastics, furniture, electronics, fabrics and carpet padding. The sole American manufacturer in 2004 agreed to phase out the types of PBDEs included in the study because of concern about toxicity in animals"
