Graduates from the Biological Sciences program will have demonstrated: An understanding of the tenets of modern biology and an understanding of how cellular functions are integrated from the molecular level to the cellular level, through to the level of organism, populations and functioning ecosystems.
Toxic hazard studies of flexible polyurethane foam include small scale testing and large. scale testing. The combustion modes examined include thermal decomposition, smoldering, and open flaming, and under ventilated flaming combustion. Of the small-. scale studies, only a few include smoldering foam.
In general, MOST foam play flooring / mats are made with a material called EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) which is a foam rubber compound. For a while now it has been viewed as a healthier alternative to PVC and the process of making it excludes the use of chlorine which can produce carcinogenic compounds called dioxins.
