研究发现儿童床垫中含有有毒化学品,对幼儿的健康构成危险。 Study finds toxic chemicals in children's mattresses, posing health risks to young kids.

多伦多大学的一项研究发现,在儿童床垫和床上发现了有毒化学品和阻燃剂,这可能对6个月至4岁的儿童构成健康风险。 A University of Toronto study found toxic chemicals and flame retardants in children's mattresses and bedding, which could pose health risks to kids aged 6 months to 4 years. 研究发现,在儿童床位附近发现了高浓度的phalates、阻燃剂和紫外线过滤器,睡眠儿童的温暖和体重增加了化学离气量。 The research detected high levels of phthalates, flame retardants, and UV filters near children's beds, with the warmth and weight of a sleeping child increasing chemical off-gassing. 这项研究包括来自加拿大、美国和墨西哥的床垫,表明这个问题在北美洲广泛存在。 The study included mattresses from Canada, the US, and Mexico, suggesting the issue is widespread across North America. 尽管美国化学理事会指出,阻燃剂受到严格审查和批准,但研究报告强调,有必要对这些化学品在儿童产品中的使用进行更严格的管制。 Despite the American Chemistry Council stating that flame retardants are reviewed and approved rigorously, the study highlights the need for more regulated use of these chemicals in children's products.
