    Polyurethane foam - are they safe?

    MC1992 posted a topic in Chemistry
    Hi again science forums! Me again, back with a bit more material related question. As someone with near zero background in chemistry, I want to know if polyurethane ( sometimes referred to as PU) foam is safe? My preliminary readings and research shows that a residue called " isocyanates" left over by the processing of polyurethane foam, among others, could be quite problematic. There are articles on the internet suggests that it is best not to use mattresses with polyurethane foam as the stuffing. Again, I want to know what people who specializes in this or have received higher education in chemistry think of this?
