Indoor air pollution can be 10 times worse than Los Angles on a bad day, no matter where you live.  Yes, indoor air pollution.  Thanks to the wonders of modern chemistry, you’re being poisoned constantly. Right now, for instance, your walls are outgassing formaldehyde and 1,1,1 trichloroethane, which cause flu-like symptoms: headache, nausea, fatigue, and sore throat.  Your carpet is releasing an alphabet soup of unpronounceable compounds, most of which chew away at your immune system and make you feel run-down…

Many of these pollutants are “volatile organic compounds.”  Than means they are chemically unstable.  They turn into Gas, or combine with other chemicals.  Then, you breathe them, and they are everywhere. They’re in cabinets, wood finishes, paints, stains, varnishes, cleaning supplies, and anything made of plastic or vinyl.  “Why are these dangerous compounds there?”, you ask. Well, because they’re cheap, and because no one has the time or resources to study the long-term effects of even the 50,000 most common chemicals.  So there’s no toxicity data for 4 out of 5 of them.

Actually, one thing is known, some are fatal.  The EPA estimates that indoor air pollution kills 11,400 people every year.

That’s what happens when those flu-like symptoms turn into something worse.  Like cancer or kidney failure or respiratory collapse.  Fortunately, there’s preventive medicine.

Safecoat paints are the world’s only full line of chemically responsible building and maintenance products.  These paints are not only non-toxic but also prevent outgassing of toxic chemicals from insulation and other chemical laden building materials.
