Andy Pace works with homeowners, builders, and architects across the globe to create safe and healthy living environments for residents. He joins me today for the second part of our series on making homes non-toxic and healthier. We talk about VOCs, basements, and working with contractors. If you have not done so already, I suggest you go back and listen to Part 1 first, where we spoke about what makes a home healthy, safe, and non-toxic and how to reduce mold and off-gassing within your home.
Some interesting facts about VOCs
- Some VOCs are harmful to humans in direct contact or acute situations
- Some VOCs are totally harmless to humans in direct contact or acute situations
- Only a few hundred of the 92,000 chemicals used in building materials and home goods have been classified as VOCs
