Re: chemicals in new home-harmful?
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) are released by carpets, engineered hardwood and laminate flooring, and a myriad of other building materials and furniture so you are correct to contemplate the subject. I suggest searching in the alternative sites such as Annie Appleseed Project, a breast cancer site that applies natural resources to battle BC. Avoiding VOCs is nearly impossible. I doubt very much whether your contractor or onc will have any insight into the issue of indoor air quality. Poke around the web for forums discussing the subject and let us know! Good luck!
