Fire Retardant Chemical Research  
 
 

Currently a number of scientists are questioning some of the chemicals in fire retardants and attempting to get a number of them banned. Chemists for peace is trying to gather research/data/opinions on this topic to help us form an opinion on the subject.

Currently this web page is just serving as a repository for information we have gathered. In the near future we will likely also post some of the conclusions we have come to.
