They all are- adn taken together, they are a witches brew.SC&Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896449261475558935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088893.post-1146060127146833532006-04-26T10:02:00.000-04:002006-04-26T10:02:00.000-04:00it is ok to be preachy, but you are talking about ...it is ok to be preachy, but you are talking about an altogether different pathology there in the carpets.<BR/><BR/>If it were internal pollutants that were the biggest issue, we would see respiratory problems go up in the winter months when we lock ourselves inside and breath recycled air. But, in actuality, problems go up in the summer months when ozone and fine particulate matter are more prevalent.Dingohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04386587646469853172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088893.post-1145995569295396722006-04-25T16:06:00.000-04:002006-04-25T16:06:00.000-04:00I'm upset he's using the reserves.Inconvenience is...I'm upset he's using the reserves.<BR/><BR/>Inconvenience is not a national security matter.<BR/><BR/>As for ground natural level ozone, I say BS. That isn't the problem. The real problem are the VOC's that are everywhere- in carpets, fabrics, etc.<BR/><BR/>That these industries have bought their way, via lobby groups and contributions to political campaigns, for decades, is an outrage.<BR/><BR/>This is something I have some familiarity with. A close relative's (child)illness and subsequent demise was attributed to a sensitivity of VOC's.<BR/><BR/>Tragically, it could have been avoided. Carpet manufacturers do not even have to label appropriately. <BR/><BR/>FYI, there are organic carpets on the market. If you or any of your readers kids suffers asthma or any kind of respiratory ailments, look into this.<BR/><BR/>VOC can be emitted for DECADES.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to be so preachy.SC&Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896449261475558935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088893.post-1145994779148507512006-04-25T15:52:00.000-04:002006-04-25T15:52:00.000-04:00When you can't breathe, nothing else matters.When you can't breathe, nothing else matters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
