Chemicals we use for cleaning and laundry along with the gasses given off from new items we bring in our homes make our problems much worse. If you brought into your home new furniture, carpeting or hard wood floors, fresh paint, or any new plastic devices you should know they all out gas. Within your walls there can be radon, fire-retardants, formaldehyde, lead, dust, and even volatile chemicals from conventional cleaners, perfume and those “air fresheners” many folks use to mask their poor indoor air. They all give off gases or are particles small enough to float in our air so we breathe them in.
All of those contaminants are irritants to people with compromised respiratory systems and some components will out gas for up to two years or longer. When you add all the irritating contaminants which enter our homes from outside air such as ozone, haze or smog, pollen and mold spores along with all the other items we can develop allergies too… well, let’s just say the air inside isn’t helping us relieve any of our symptoms!
