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 (Arsenic), .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." - http://www.peopleforcleanbeds.org/
