Duke Scientists Testing Chemically Treated Furniture

Check it out! Send in up to 5 samples for testing.

Duke's Superfund Research Center can now help you find out what chemicals may be present in the furniture in your home with funding support provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS).

Data collected from this testing will help us to understand which flame retarding chemicals are currently being used in furniture. Once we have a sense of what chemicals are being used, we'll be able to investigate how people are exposed to these chemicals in the home and understand if the chemicals may impact human health.
