If a person sensitive to their living environment lives in the home, use renewable-material insulation made without noxious ingredients.
Many people today are hypersensitive to their living environment, and that means that a problem like poor indoor air quality can easily cause health problems for them. Precautions should be taken to limit the impact on their health, besides reducing the impact on resources.
Our recommendations :
-
Many kinds of insulation contain volatile components that may be diffused throughout the house. These products may be irritating for people sensitive to their living environment and may cause respiratory problems. The best option is to always choose the least toxic products possible, in order to maintain good indoor air quality and safeguard human health. If inhaling cellulose or mineral wool dust will cause a problem during handling, choose urethane foam, but make sure it is CFC- and HCFC-free, to reduce GHGs. You should also bear in mind that non-biodegradable flame-retardants are often added to insulation to make them more fire resistant. Polystyrene panels, for example, must be covered for safety reasons: they release toxic compounds when exposed to flame.
