The Human Upgrade with Dave Asprey
Beware the Hidden Pollutants in Our Homes
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are prevalent in everyday items such as paints, adhesives, caulking, silicone, plastics, and new carpeting. These substances release harmful VOCs into the air as they cure or off-gas, contributing to poor air quality within homes. Mold and bacteria also contribute to this issue by producing their own VOCs, known as MVOCs. The collective presence of these pollutants creates a detrimental environment that can overload the immune system. The rise in health problems related to these pollutants can be traced back to the early efforts for energy efficiency initiated in the 1970s, which often overlooked the long-term health impacts of increased indoor pollution. This historical shift coincided with a decline in lifespan, emphasizing the need to reconsider the implications of energy-efficient practices on air quality.
