this doesn’t seem good, at all…

Since I live in California this kind of bother’s me.

If we all didn’t have enough to worry about with hormone altering cosmetics, water bottles, and cans (click HERE, HERE or HERE.) Or, polar ice caps melting. Or, money. Now, we get some new acronym to worry about.

Seems that there are these things called PBDE’s.. which are fire retardent chemicals put in a whole bunch of things, mainly furniture and bedding. The levels of these toxins are 10 times higher in California that anywhere else. What’s worse is that we have it at twice the levels in our bloodstream than anyone else in the country.

“Levels in California homes were 10 times higher than those on Cape Cod, five times higher than those in Texas, six times higher than those in Washington, D.C., four times higher than those in Boston and 200 times higher than those in Europe, where the chemicals are used sparingly.”

HERE is the article. And, HERE is some information from Wikipedia.
