How to Avoid Toxic Chemicals in your Home

With our home renovations we took steps to reduce VOCs, lead, and other toxic chemicals, as well as microplastics where we could to try have a healthier and more sustainable home.

My Chemical-Free House (https://www.mychemicalfreehouse.net/c... ) was a very helpful resource for low-emission and non-toxic building supplies and other home products.
