Who would have ever considered that even our office furniture was conspiring against us and contaminating our air?
I have been doing a lot of research lately on indoor environmental quality, and looking at ways to improve my health by being smart about what I choose in my home office environment.
I found that some companies, such as Marvel, who I read the most about, are doing everything they can in producing products that conserve the environment and help us be environmentally responsible.
I found out that even our furniture can give off indoor air contaminants that are potentially irritating, odorous and even harmful to those that install them and the people that use them every day.
I also learned that exposure to the outdoors through even outdoor views and daylight can be beneficial to your work and home environment.
The fabrics used to cover furniture and panels have been improved. Eco Intelligence® Polyesters contain no heavy metals (like antimony), chlorine and PBTs so they can be perpetually and safely recycled and re-manufactured in closed loop systems.
Greenguard certified products have all gone through testing for indoor air quality. Be sure to check out other Greenguard certified products to see which ones may fit into your needs.
Don't forget to learn about other earth friendy programs such as recycling. Every little but helps our environment!
