Some health issues when installing carpets

Health issues like running nose, rashes and a few more skin issues can be delivered when you install the carpeting inside the home. So you have to be prepared for this one just in case you like the idea of introducing carpets for your home. This has led the US Consumer Product Safety Commission to take a look at the complaints that they have received and to see the relationship between these carpeting and the reported health issues. The agency collected some carpet samples and they got these carpets from the production line of these carpeting manufacturers. The agency performed laboratory work in order to determine the types and the qualities of the chemicals that are released from the carpet cushions that are used under the carpet. The agency does not have currently the right evidence that can pinpoint the actual chemical emissions.
