Hi, my family often goes hiking and we use backpacking tents,
I've recently been reading that pretty much all tents sold in the US are coated with flame retardants and with fluorocarbons (these act as a DWR - durable water repllent).
I've also been reading that these are not excatly chemicals you want to expose yourself and your children too, not to mention the environment.
But as far as it seems there is no real alternative at this point and pretty much all companies use these materials.
I'd like to ask if you know much about these chemical compounds and could advise me on reducing exposure to them, the exposure would probably be either airborne or by physical contact with the fabrics coated with these chemicals.
