Why is a Chemical-Free Mattress Important?
“In their Jan-06 Risk Assessment the CPSC proves the average adult will absorb a daily dose of .802 mg of Antimony, .081 mg Boric Acid (Roach Killer), and .073 mg DBDPO (Deca) from flame-proof mattresses, every night. Plus they say five year old children will absorb .5 mg Antimony every night, this is 63 times more poison than the EPA says is safe. Younger children were not studied.” – peopleforcleanbeds.org
