GSP is working with epidemiologists to monitor exposure levels and health of populations in the U.S. and in China that are highly exposed to flame retardant chemicals (furniture and foam workers, carpet cushion installers and recyclers, and flight attendants) and their children for neurological and reproductive problems predicted from animal studies.
