Could your home affect your health?
Think about it, today’s home is a mix of toxic materials.
The VOC level of many of the products used in the building process are well over the limit they should be and could be adversely effecting your health. Any product that is made up of man made materials, like press board or particle board, common in counter tops and cabinets for instance, could contain high levels of various chemicals including formaldehyde.
Paint, unless you are using low or no VOC paint, can emit unhealthy fumes long after the smell is gone.
Most carpets are one of the biggest offenders of toxic building fumes and emit toxic fumes indefinitely, there are an abundanceĀ  of chemicals used in the manufacture of carpet as well as the pad and carpets also hold whatever is tracked into them.
The incidence of cancer and various other disease hasĀ  increased in direct correlation with the use of these materials, and we live in them everyday. Is it a coincidence?

This is why one of the 3 major elements of a green Eco-friendly home is air quality.

  • Energy Efficiency
