Cfrance, thanks for this post. I know there are chemical concerns, but it sounds as if most of the testing was done in the factories which manufacture the mulch. I would think that the closed environment would make the affects much more of a concern.

I can't help but think that once this is put in place and subject to the elements for days, months, years, that the possible health concerns would be minimal. Of course I can't know for sure.

I am looking at the wind and sun outdoors today and it makes me think the off-gassing etc, would dissipate very quickly. Just a guess on my part........
