[GreenYes] Carpet

["Maine, Bruce" <bmaine@hdrinc.com>]

Commercial carpet is typically specified these days with biocides, soil
and stain protectants and fire retardants to name a few.  Does anyone
have any information on whether these types of treatments have any
"downstream" pollution potential during the fiber reclamation process?
Thanks in advance,
