From the Publisher
It’s easy not to put too much thought into what goes into the construction of a new home. After all, there are countless building standards, and there are regulatory agencies that ensure those standards keep us safe. Or do they?
Unfortunately, the typical materials used to build and furnish homes often contain chemicals called volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can off-gas into our living spaces and have significant negative health effects. Meanwhile, modern wireless technologies expose us to electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs), which have been linked to cancer, debilitating fatigue, and significant psychiatric symptoms.
Healthier Homes shows you how to make better choices. You can build a home (or retrofit an existing one) that supports your health, and it doesn’t have to be prohibitively expensive. Jen and Rusty Stout are here to guide you.
