SIDS usually strikes infants between the ages of 1 month to 1 year.Phosphorus is a common element."The suspected gasses in the SIDS deaths were; arsine from arsenic, phosphine from phosphorus, and stibine from the element antimony. Arsenic, antimony, and phosphorus, along with even more chemicals are added to mattresses to slow this breakdown and as a fire retardant. Again, mattresses used for a long time.As a rebuttal: The use of phosphorus and antimony as fire retardants in mattresses has not been scientifically proven to be safe, especially for infants. She has a need to know the reason behind something and isn't satisfied until she finds out. Sleeping on their stomachs puts the infants' faces directly in the trapped gasses. This infuriated the medical establishments.Website for natural, organic wool pillows and bedding for infants and adults. Woolie Bees Online. Organic wool is naturally fire resistant and therefore has no added chemicals.73% of babies who died from SIDS were found sleeping on their stomachs. He developed a mattress cover which is free of the suspected chemicals and impermeable to gasses. The Technology Transfer Network Air Toxics Website of the U. Countries who have adopted this "Back to Sleep" recommendation have seen a 38% drop in the rate of SIDS.60 years later, in 1955 this knowledge helped diagnose the sudden illness of the American Ambassador to Italy, Claire Booth Luce.

The most common being ammonia created from microbes feeding on nitrogen.Dr.Being a renowned chemist with 247 published scientific papers to his credit; Dr.T. Sprott, a New Zealand Chemist, suggested SIDS deaths were caused by poisoning from gasses which were generated from chemicals in the babie's mattresses.
