How Sick Is Your Home? BusinessWeek
You can trace some of the problems of indoor home pollution to a noble effort -- energy efficiency. 'We're building tighter and tighter homes and bringing all sorts of products and chemicals into them, but there's less and less air going through,' says Richard Corsi, director at the Texas Institute for the Indoor Environment at the University of Texas in Austin. 'A tighter home is good from the standpoint of conserving energy but bad in terms of occupants inside.'
That's why some builders are beginning to take steps to put up houses that are both energy-efficient and healthy.------------------------------------------- posted 6:16 AM :: reference link ::
