The most up-to-date and comprehensive guide to non-toxic materials for a new build or renovation!
This book covers every section of the build from additives used in concrete foundations, to roofing materials, structural materials, to insulation, and interior finishes like floors, cabinets, paint, plaster, and much more.
Includes brand names of specific products.Includes mold-preventative considerations that you must keep in mind at the stage of choosing materials to have a mold-safe home.Tips on how to test materials if you are sensitive.
Throughout the book, you’ll discover valuable advice specifically for those with minor to severe chemical sensitivities, drawn from nine years of experience working with chemically sensitive individuals, twelve years of research and writing on the topic, and my personal experience with MCS.
Even if you’re not chemically sensitive but simply want a home that’s as low in VOCs and other toxins/toxicants of concern as possible, this book is for you as well.
Building materials and brands change rapidly, this book will be updated once or twice a year to keep it more up-to-date than any other book on this topic.
