Volatile Organic Compounds - Why You Must Live Without Them
To completely eradicate VOCs is a tough task, though it can be done. At least a drastic reduction is feasible when you are really motivated. Having children in the house can provide quite a powerful motivation.
Think of this: a child breathes 3 times as quickly as an adult - whatever contaminents are present in the air will be absorbed into the child’s lungs much more quickly than into an adult’s.
A child’s metabolic rate is also faster.
A child’s immune system is still in development until the age of 12.
Toxins are attracted to certain “materials” like fat. The brain, including the growing brain of a child, is very fatty, and contains a vast blood supply both of which are perfect vehicles for toxic chemicals.
