Corinne Segura is a building biologist who had extreme chemical and mold sensitivities when she first set out to build a chemical-free tiny house. The research and testing of those materials is what sparked the creation of the My Chemical Free House blog.

Corinne and I nerd out on how to avoid chemicals that are making you weak in your home, car, RV, etc.!  We want to make sure you stay as healthy as possible and eliminate things that make you weak from your environment. 

We talk about some crazy stuff to avoid including: 

MOLD

 

PLASTICS

 

FLAMETARDS

  • How they continue to come out of your mattress forever
  • If you buy a used sofa, buy one built after 2015.
  • Avoid polyurethane

 

CARS

  • Corinne has an amazing resource on buying a chemical-free car.
  • You can try a car hepa filter
  • If you buy a new car, turn up the heat, and set it in the hot sun to let the chemicals come out.
  • Buy a Honda
  • The goal is PVC-free, withuse low-VOC adhesives, tapes, foams and coating materials 

 

HOMES

  • Pots and pans
  • Paint
  • Carpets-- look for wool.  Matt used ducttape under his carpets instead of glue. 
  • Air filters-- consider a HEPA filter for most compounds, but if you have allergies to mold consider a Molekule
  • Look for low VOC or Greenguard Gold Certification furniture. 
    • Williams and Sonoma and Pottery Barn make reasonably priced low VOC furniture
