Discontinued pajama flame retardant detected in baby products and house dust
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/es902480t?cookieSet=1
"Tom Webster, the associate chair of the Boston University School of Public Health's environmental health department, has been investigating the public-health implications of flame retardant use for more than five years. Because of a paper recently published in ES&T (2009, DOI 10.1021/es9014019), Webster can for the first time answer "yes" when people ask him whether the flame retardants he studies are the same ones previously used in children's pajamas. But he isn't happy about it."
