A recent study showed that 100% of dust samples from airplanes contained flame retardants, those noxious thyroid-disrupting chemicals that have been linked to autism and other neurological disorders.
Not only that, but the levels of flame retardant on airplanes “were elevated by orders of magnitude relative to residential and office environments.”
Your best bet? Bathe yourself and change your clothes as soon as possible after flying.
Have you ever wondered WHY there’s such an epidemic of autism these days? Why is the rate now 1 in 50, when it was only 1 in 10,000 a couple of decades ago?
Flame retardants are endocrine disruptors found in almost all new furniture. They are linked to autism, ADHD, developmental delays, hypothyroidism and more. Dust tainted by the couches and other household items is “a major route of exposure to people.”
Brominated flame retardants are neurotoxic and are linked to neurodevelopmental disorders like autism, ADHD and SPD.
