Re: Any NYC Referral's for someone to test the Air

GET RID OF THE MATTRESS NOW!

I got exposed to it when I was woring and wound up in the ER. I know Dr

Thrasher will agree to get rid of it AND I hate to tell you but the pillows

need

to go also. If there is carpet I would remove that also as I am sur that

there is pesticide residue on/in the carpet.

Greetings:

I had bed bugs and was sprayed with a Pesticide called

SUSPEND. I have been very very ill. Does anyone know a good Company in

Manhattan or surrounding area that does air quality testing??????

THanks so much for all of your great emails.

Get someone from out of state to do it. Labs are recertified

periodically by the state and companies that have findings which are

hostile to state interests risk losing their licenses. This

comprises a conflict of interest.

In the meantime, send samples of your mattress (and other

potentially contaminated materials/baseboard swipes etc) to an out

of state lab (ask Dr. Lipsey for a recommendation) to be tested for

residues of this pesticide. The concentrations will also indicate

the level of risk from continuing to use your possessions.

Pesticides cannot be removed from material and don't degrade well

indoors in general for lack of sunlight, not to mention synergists

and solvents which prolong/intensify their effects.

i would have to think if we need to throw out our couches and books something as

personal as a mattress has to go. i cant wait to get rid of mine. i will sleep

on a blow up bed for awhile - i dont care. such is life. in my world this is

the way it happens every so often. nothing is easy. My mattress is only 2

years old. and i am really upset about it but i am also really sceeved by it.

yuch, its making me sick just to think about it. i cant wait till this is

over, um, let me just say on its way to over.

offgassing is another hornets nest you are getting into

The plastics in vinyl may aggravate your already inflammed airways and

also other aspects of your health. Perhaps you should consider buying

a steel cot frame (they clean up easily if you move around) and a

thick excercise mat(maybe of a natural material) to use as a matress.

A bit narrow, but perhaps the best choice for inert materials. I

personally avoid the polyurethane foam mattresses that come with the

cots. The emissions from them just aren't good for anyone in

questionable health and even the fire fighters associations are in

agreement that the flame retardant chemicals required by law in all

such mattresses are needlessly exposing people to poisons.

Does anyone know of any reliable non-toxic, no off-gassing bedding companies?
