Hussain AhamedGUEST
And – Yeah, so the VOCs is what I was trying to say.
Ellen BrownHOST
Yes,
Hussain AhamedGUEST
yes, yes.
MikeHOST
That's right.
MikeHOST
And, you know, he's like, do I need to be concerned about VOCs? And actually the eye opener for him has been CO2 levels.
MikeHOST
He's a CO2 tank user like I am.
MikeHOST
And not surprisingly, when he airbrushes, there's a CO2 bloom in his hobby room per the air quality monitor.
Christine Todd WhitmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Lead is in those buildings.
Christine Todd WhitmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There are the, the VOCs.
Christine Todd WhitmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
However, the concentrations are such that they don't pose a health hazard.
Christine Todd WhitmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We're gonna make sure everybody's safe.
Justin HancockHOST
you know, just like the whole sucking the oxygen out of a room around the air purification.
Justin HancockHOST
NASA did a study in the 1980s, and they found that plants absorbed a really large amount of some of the chemical pollutants called VOCs, volatile organic compounds, from the air.
Justin HancockHOST
And so when the research was published, a lot of people got super excited.
Justin HancockHOST
Oh, you know, I can clean the air in my home.
BelindaGUEST
With furniture, carpets, um, you know, all of that which we have to have in our house.
BelindaGUEST
You've gotta have, you've gotta have all these things in your house, right? They do put off a lot of, um, VOCs.
BelindaGUEST
There's formaldehyde.
BelindaGUEST
There's all kinds of stuff that are, you know, be- being put off these, off this furniture and products.
Betsy RosenbergGUEST
Yeah, color and oil in some, color and water in some.
Betsy RosenbergGUEST
Some have VOCs, some have low VOCs.
Charles RotterGUEST
In other words, you can make up stuff.
Betsy RosenbergGUEST
8 is not that complicated of all the things we should be talking about.
Kellyn MilaniGUEST
But there are some that are more toxigenic than others.
Kellyn MilaniGUEST
But every mold really does secrete VOCs, which can be more inflammatory than anything.
Tyna MooreHOST
Okay.
Kellyn MilaniGUEST
Um, mycotoxins and, um, they also produce spore and spore fragments.
Theo LucierGUEST
Why would you dry fast on a flight? Well, flights cause a lot of inflammation.
Theo LucierGUEST
You're essentially inside a microwave cage, not to mention the VOCs you inhale from the exhaust and the poor air quality and the stress of traveling.
Theo LucierGUEST
So if you dry fast, your body has all this energy that's liberated from not digesting something and it holds inflammation down.
Theo LucierGUEST
So you bounce back from the flight very quickly.
John LaPumaGUEST
It's also stale air.
John LaPumaGUEST
And the problems in the air with phthalates and off-gassing VOCs and forever chemicals are cumulative and they're kind of subtle.
John LaPumaGUEST
They add up without really knowing that they're there.
John LaPumaGUEST
Harvard's Healthy Building Group ran this.
Laura TrothHOST
Mold air quality.
Laura TrothHOST
There was another one that we did and we did VOC testing in it and formaldehyde testing.
Laura TrothHOST
And it was, yeah, like there's been a lot of people.
Laura TrothHOST
In fact, I have a text that I have to call somebody tonight to find out what's going on and to schedule a time.
