Every year, more and more people become afflicted with chronic illnesses caused by airborne toxins inside their homes. They are released into the air by objects and materials so familiar, so seemingly benign, that virtually no home is without them. 'Prescriptions for a Healthy House' takes the mystery out of healthy house building by walking the homeowner through the construction process, explaining where and why standard building practices are not healthy, what to do differently, and how to obtain alternative materials and expertise. This unique book provides information on how to design interior and exterior space, and select construction materials that enhance and promote physical health.
