Large blooms of didymo discovered in Delaware River
Airborne chemicals are embedded inside our homes. These chemicals may exacerbate allergies and asthma, and can cause fatigue, nausea, dizziness, eye, nose and throat irritation, cough, headache, flu-like symptoms, and skin irritation. You never really think that your house could make you tired, irritable or even sick, but over time your body may absorb common VOCs like formaldehyde, phthalates, or PBDEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) which are the chemicals in flame retardants used in furniture, which have been found in human breast milk and dryer lint. Our bodies are remarkably resilient in defending ourselves from these chemicals, but only to a point. Studies have shown that the air that surrounds us indoors is more toxic than the air outdoors |
