Question from YH
Do they outgass some kind of chemicals? I don’t really know what they are made of. Is latex a toxic plastic? Buying latex matress is an easy way to get rid of dust mites.
Debra’s Answer
Dust mite pillow and mattress covers made from polyethylene are not harmful to health, however, polyethylene is a nonrenewable, nonbiodegradable plastic.
Latex is not toxic, however, some latex does contain some toxic chemicals. Some people are allergic to latex, and some people cannot tolerate the natural odor of latex.
