Ask for formaldehyde-free MDF – this is medium density fibreboard, a pressed wood product with added glues and resins. It is used for making cupboards, shelving and furniture. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4feb7336cf070001e8b0a4/t/5d794ed1146faa22dd3e558e/1568231155346/shutterstock_707112595.jpg What can you do? Open windows as much as you can. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4feb7336cf070001e8b0a4/t/5d7952b7fd9271791d80e401/1568232148289/shutterstock_516884296.jpg What can you do? If you buy new furniture leave it outside for a while – flame retardants often contain ‘serious persistent pollutants’ which are believed to be ‘hormone and endocrine disrupting’. There are increasing number of companies making furniture using natural chemical free materials. www.tomraffield.com https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4feb7336cf070001e8b0a4/t/5d794e6128479a0eab840158/1568231043577/shutterstock_395717434.jpg What can you do? Bring plants such as ivy, ferns, spider plant, Peace Lily, Gerbera daisies in your house or office – they all absorb toxins.

Standard wood preservers should be avoided - they ‘come with a serious health and environmental warning’. Consider Boron as a natural wood preservative. If you see damp or mould get the problem sorted as soon as possible. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4feb7336cf070001e8b0a4/t/5d7e0ba0f4a54a6163a03214/1568541678913/shutterstock_1162751467.jpg What can you do? Consider using natural cleaners – some fragrances in cleaners are made from chemicals – which leach into the environment and can be toxic. Look for alternatives - baking soda, lemon juice, castile soap and vinegar. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4feb7336cf070001e8b0a4/t/5d79531704d46a48333f9e8c/1568232250994/shutterstock_245539117.jpg What can you do? Be aware that the glues used in laminated floors or any other pressed wood products may contain formaldehyde. Ask for formaldeyhyde free glues. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4feb7336cf070001e8b0a4/t/5d7e0efbc5af44664ac9c83f/1568542461123/shutterstock_587959580.jpg What can you do? If replacing windows think seriously about an alternative to plastic – PVC contains some of the worst toxins around. Its basic constituents can be carcinogenic. When PVC degrades in the sun it emits toxic gases which inevitably enter the home. Hardwood or aluminium are alternatives. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4feb7336cf070001e8b0a4/t/5d7e0b2e3ce584407a8e13d5/1568541542982/shutterstock_256153045.jpg What can you do? Use wool, hemp or other natural insulation when renovate rather than foam, petro-chemical or synthetic products. Try Back to Earth and Celtic Sustainables. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4feb7336cf070001e8b0a4/t/5d7e0d6ab894ea5c87bfe081/1568542060887/shutterstock_582998986.jpg What can you do? Think what your carpets and floor coverings (vinyl etc) are made from – petro-chemicals outgas into your environment. Go for 100% wool carpets with wool underlay, natural linoleum, stone, tiles or solid wood flooring. Avoid nylon, acrylic or polyester carpets. https://www.howhealthyisyourhome.com/reference daily 0.75 2019-10-20
