thriving within the collapsed nuclear reactor at Chernobyl, Ukraine, using gamma radiation as a source of energy. Albino fungi, without melanin, were studied to be incapable of using gamma radiation in this way, proving that gamma rays initiate a yet-unknown process of energy production within exposed melanin. Vertebrate animals may also convert light directly into metabolic energy through the help of melanin. In a review  titled, " A little known, avian anatomical conundrum may help resolve melanin paradoxes. One of many unique adaptations to flight, the pecten, strange intra-ocular organ with unresolved function(s), is much enlarged and heavily melanized in birds fighting gravity, hypoxia, thirst and hunger during long-distance, frequently sub-zero, non-stop migration. The pecten may help cope with energy and nutrient needs under extreme conditions, by a marginal but critical, melanin-initiated conversion of light to metabolic energy, coupled to local metabolite recycling. High body levels of flame retardants have been linked to rising rates of reproductive and endocrine problems, including reduced fertility and altered thyroid function; neurodevelopmental problems in children, such as reduced IQ and potentially A recent study found that TDCPP is a neurotoxin to brain cells, and poses a threat to human health according to an assessment conducted by the Consumer Product and Safety Commission.

Particularly concerning is the amount of exposure for children, who can’t choose their own mattresses and typically sleep up to 15 hours a day. According to Heather Stapleton, an environmental chemistry professor at Duke University, “My concern is the elevated exposure infants and toddlers are receiving,” Stapleton wrote. “A high proportion of infants are in physical contact with products treated with these chemicals almost 24 hours a day.” (Grossman 2012). " does not mean a given item is 100% free of chemicals.
