Kids' car seat tests reveal chemicalsMore than half of 2011 model children’s car seats contain one or more potentially hazardous chemicals, but the seats fared far better than previous years, healthystuff.org found. Healthystuff.org, a project of the environmental non-profit The Ecology Center, found “chemicals of concern” in 60% of the more than 150 seats tested, including brominated flame retardants, arsenic, lead, cadmium and mercury. Even so, the website calculated a 64% improvement between 2008 and this year’s seats. “There’s been a not-so-quiet consumer revolution around chemical hazards in consumer products. The smart and strategic companies are quickly moving to make healthier products, and I think are going to have competitive advantage doing that,” said Jeff Gearheart, research director for Healthystuff.org. Dr. Sanjay Gupta investigates: Toxic America Healthystuff.org picked the chemicals of concern based on studies showing links to reproductive problems, developmental and learning disabilities, hormone imbalances and cancer. Healthystuff.org tested for the presence of the chemicals using an X-ray fluorescence analyzer. The website did not test to see whether any of the chemicals were coming off the product and potentially exposing children. All Baby Trend and Recaro seats tested contained brominated flame retardants, while more than four in five Britax seats did. 44% of all seats tested contained the chemical, which the Environmental Protection Agency says may cause liver, thyroid and neurodevelopmental toxicity. Healthystuff.org ranked the best and worst seats based on how much chemicals of concern they contained. The findings have no bearing on how well these seats would do in a car accident. Best Infant Seats: Chicco KeyFit 30 in Limonata, Graco Snugride 35 in Laguna Bay, and Combi Shuttle 33 in Cranberry Noche. Best Convertible Car Seats: Graco Comfort Sport in Caleo, Graco MyRide 65 in Chandler and Streamer, Safety 1st Onside Air in Clearwater, and Graco Nautilus Elite 3-in-1 in Gabe. Best Booster Seat: Graco Turbo Booster in Anders. Worst Infant Seats: Graco Snugride 35 in Edgemont Red/Black, Graco Snugride 30 in Asprey. Worst Convertible Seats: Britax Marathon 70 in Jet Set, and Britax Marathon in Platinum. Worst Booster Seats: Recaro Pro Booster in Blue Opal, and Recaro ProSPORT Toddler in Misty. Healthystuff.org listed the Graco Snugride 35 in both the best and worst performers for infant car seats, possibly because of the different fabrics. CNN contacted Graco, Britax and Recaro, or their public relations companies. None commented on the testing by late Tuesday. Brands tested include: Alpha Sport, Baby Trend, Britax, Chicco, Clek, Combi, Compass, Dorel Juvenile Group (Cosco, Eddie Bauer, Maxi-Cosi, Safety First), Evenflo, Fisher Price, Graco, Harmony Juvenile, Orbit Baby, Peg Perego, Recaro, Sunshine Kids, Teutonia, The First Years.

Por su parte el grupo Los Chikos del Maíz han respondido en su facebook en el que han agradecido a la sala el aguante ante dichas presiones, a las que hay que sumar según los valencianos misteriosas inspecciones (sanidad, medidas y dimensiones, puertas de emergencia...) y demás veladas amenazas por parte del Ayuntamiento. El pasado viernes, los seis sindicatos presentes en la Mesa Sectorial de Sanidad de la Comunidad de Madrid (SATSE,, Amyts, CSIT-UP, UGT y USAE) convocaron una huelga general el 2 y 27 de noviembre y 4 y 5 de diciembre en contra del plan privatizador de la Comunidad de Madrid. Recordó también que el presupuesto militar de Colombia es proporcionalmente de los más altos del mundo.

Howdy this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

This design is steller! You definitely know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Excellent job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

Hi, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, amazing blog!

Do you have a spam problem on this blog; I also am a blogger, and I was wondering your situation; many of us have developed some nice practices and we are looking to swap techniques with other folks, be sure to shoot me an e-mail if interested.

I do love the way you have presented this problem plus it really does present us some fodder for thought. However, through just what I have personally seen, I only trust as the actual comments pack on that people today stay on point and don't start upon a tirade associated with the news of the day. Yet, thank you for this fantastic piece and whilst I can not necessarily agree with the idea in totality, I respect the perspective.
