Flame retardant chemicals added to electronics, furniture, carpets and more may harm social development and increase aggressive behavior in young children, according to a study from Oregon State University earlier this week. Scientists from the college found a link between combative demeanor among children and high levels of exposure to popular flame retardant substances. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�When we analyzed behavior assessments and exposure levels, we observed that the children who had more exposure to certain types of the flame retardant were more likely to exhibit externalizing behaviors such as aggression, defiance, hyperactivity, inattention and bullying,바카라 게임 웹사이트� explained Molly Kile, an environmental epidemiologist and associate professor at OSU's College of Public Health and Human Sciences. The week-long study observed 92 children ages 3-5 who wore silicone wristbands to monitor exposure. The wristbands had "porous surfaces" that allowed them to absorb environmental chemicals. All 92 children were exposed to some level of flame retardant. However, analyses taken from parent, teacher and caregiver questionnaires showed that subjects exposed to higher levels displayed aggression, hyperactivity, bullying behavior and the inability to focus. They were also less assertive, according to teachers' reports. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�This is an intriguing finding because no one had previously studied the behavioral effects of organophosphate classes of flame retardants, which have been added to consumer products more recently," Kile added. Organophosphates can be found in varnishes, adhesives, dyes, plastics, mattresses and textiles. The chemicals are not bound to materials, and they're often released into homes, where they linger and are inhaled by residents. Flame retardants have been used in household items since 1975, but there are increasing concerns that the chemicals may negatively impact health, especially in the growth and cognitive development of children. Brominated diphenyl ethers (BDEs) and organophosphate-based substances (OPFRs) are two of the most popular flame retardants. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�We detected these links between flame retardant and children바카라 게임 웹사이트�s social behaviors while controlling for differences in family demographics, home learning environments and adversity,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Shannon Lipscomb, associate professor and lead of the human development and family sciences program at OSU-Cascades.. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�This suggests that flame retardants may have a unique effect on development apart from the effects of children바카라 게임 웹사이트�s early social experiences.바카라 게임 웹사이트�
