How much wood do you have inside you house? Formaldehyde is a big problem of mine. Corn plants and spider plants absorb it, I live in jungle in my office. <gg> Cars too have a lot of in it, from all the foam and plastic. The only car manufacture that I know of that is addressing the situation is Volvo. I have problem with dust, so I built this temple to Formaldehyde out gassing, no carpet, only wood floors, leather furniture, lots of wood, central vac, and a whole house hepafilter. I blew it and didn't use natural finishes, since at the time I didn't know I had a problem with chemicals, after awhile they level decrease a lot with the finishes, but not the seat cushions. Allergies such and Dust mite droppings can be control with shots and it's related to you immune system, so C and E vit.'s intact is most important. Fungi produce mycitoxins that become sensitizing agents they also produce MVOC's Microbial Volatile Compounds which they are very hard to measure. Also, if you have a basement, it's a good idea to cover the floor with plastic before you install the flooring down there to keep the molds from coming in. Houses today are built so tight that the air inside needs to be exchange more often, so open those windows. If you have grand kids some day, make sure they spend alot of time out side, eating dirt, LOL, it's imperative that their system develops the level of defense that is necessary at a very young age. I'm serious about that, our lives are way to antiseptic for own good. Greg
