Injury Awareness Pin Project
- The goal of the Chemical Injury Awareness pin project is
to heighten awareness and to educate the public regarding
the adverse health impacts of environmental degradation,
outdoor/indoor air pollution, and the pervasive use of
toxic chemicals in commerce. The project umbrellas all
toxin-related health issues, including, but not limited
to, birth and developmental disorders, new and emerging
disorders such as Chemical Intolerance/Injury (CI), Gulf
War Syndrome, as well as familiar fixed-named diseases
such as carcinogen-related Cancer, Parkinson's, and
certain forms of Multiple Sclerosis, to name only a few.
The ultimate focus is prevention. http://ebb.freeshell.org

For the extra sensitive, put your own washable coverings

not sell our products directly to the public as they are
used in the manufacture of finished mattress and box
spring sets produced by such companies as Sealy, Serta,
Simmons, Spring Air, etc. We do supply almost every
manufacturer in the United States with some type of steel
innerspring or box spring product. You can certainly
refer them to our Web site or to my e-mail address and I
would be happy to recommend a manufacturer in their area
