Recent studies indicate that mattresses frequently used by children emit hazardous chemicals, including flame retardants and phthalates, posing serious health risks. Researchers from the University of Toronto found that prolonged exposure, particularly for infants and toddlers who spend significant amounts of time in bed, could lead to developmental disorders and increased cancer risk. Testing of mattresses revealed alarming levels of these chemicals, many of which exceed the safety limits established for children's toys, highlighting the urgent need for regulations in the mattress manufacturing industry.
Parents may be unknowingly exposing their children to toxic chemicals in mattresses, linked to serious health risks including developmental disorders and cancer.
Studies show that children's mattresses emit alarming levels of harmful chemicals, which accumulate in bedroom air and are absorbed through the skin.
Researchers found that toxicants in mattresses increased significantly with simulated body heat, raising concerns about the long-term exposure during sleep.
Children's unique vulnerability due to higher breathing rates significantly increases their risk from the toxic chemicals found in mattresses.
