Flame retardants play a very good role in preventing fires. For safety needs in daily life, many furniture manufacturers will add flame retardants to enhance the favorable factors for human safety. However, it is reported that relevant US departments have tested that 85% of the decorative materials on the market already have fire retardant properties and do not need to add flame retardants.
At present, some of the main materials for furniture production on the market are derived from petroleum extracts, such as floor mats, sofas, curtains, etc. In order to prevent fires, flame retardants are added to them during production. These flame retardants contain components such as trishydroxymethylaminomethane and pentabromodiphenyl ether, which are very harmful to children’s neurodevelopmental systems and can easily cause cancer. In textiles, flame retardants are often used in polyester fabrics, canvas and other fabrics.
Flame retardants are widely used in our lives. However, its harm is becoming increasingly serious. According to a report by a non-profit organization in the United States, the content of flame retardants in the dust in the homes of California residents has seriously exceeded the legal limit. Testing in dozens of different samples revealed 55 different flame retardant compounds at concentrations that could cause cancer.
