We got some comments on the Green Does Not Always Mean Healthy post that were worth calling out. Apparently GreenPoint rated new homes have higher levels of formaldehyde than the notorious FEMA trailers. New construction can be the worst because offgassing declines over time, and air circulation eventually clears it out. The products to either avoid, or pay special attention to the materials used, are pressed wood products.
Thanks, Nat, Becky and Linda!
