When we think of a healthy lifestyle, we often focus on healthy food, exercise, and fun with the people we love—but what about the very buildings we live in? Traditional home construction materials are frequently filled with hidden toxins that can impact your health over time. From formaldehyde in particleboard to VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in paints and finishes, these substances can cause everything from respiratory issues to hormone disruption.

Common Toxins Found in Traditional Homes:

🚫 Formaldehyde – Common in pressed wood products and glues, linked to respiratory issues and cancer.
🚫 Phthalates – Found in vinyl flooring and plastic materials, affecting hormone levels.
🚫 VOCs – Released from conventional paints, sealants, and adhesives, causing headaches and respiratory problems.
🚫 Flame retardants – Present in insulation and carpets, linked to developmental and reproductive harm.
🚫 Pesticides – Residues can linger in building materials and soils, causing various health issues.

🚫 Mold – Grows in poorly ventilated areas, releasing spores that can cause allergies and breathing problems.
