Which MR Credit category addresses the restriction of hazardous substances in furniture?

The option that accurately reflects the category addressing the restriction of hazardous substances in furniture is related to the "Furniture and Medical Furnishings" credit.

By promoting the use of certified and environmentally friendly materials, this credit not only contributes to the health and safety of building occupants but also enhances the overall sustainability of the project. The selection of materials in this context is essential for achieving a healthier indoor environment, which aligns with the overall goals of the LEED program, particularly in terms of occupant well-being and environmental stewardship.
