Default infant and new carpet?

Thank you everyone for the response. I spoke to my pediatrician and also the
carpet company and this is what I got: Generally, if they use glue to put
the carpet, it may be harmful especially to people with respiratory
problems. Anyway, my guy is not using glue at all - so it should be safe.

I am getting a new carpet in my new apartment sometime early next week.

Lets
say, I will have 3 days between the new carpet installation and baby
crawling on it.

Q. I have heard concerns about new carpet fumes being harmful to infants,
etc.. I am wondering if it is really "harmful" or just offensive odor. Is
this something I should be concerned about? Any tips will be helpful too.

Thanks,
Jay
