In West Palm Beach, FL, the American Lung Association has sponsored a designer showhouse that highlights a healthy home. Bob tours the rooms in the house, each designed by selected interior designers and artists. Building or renovating a house can be an unhealthy proposition. Asthma, allergies, and other respiratory problems can often be attributed to manmade chemicals in the home. Bob talks with Bernadette Upton of EcoDecor about her involvement with the American Lung Association’s Baby’s Breath program and how their key prescriptions for healthy indoor air were applied in the showhouse. They discuss the healthy features of the baby’s bathroom, including the use of no VOC (volatile organic compound) paints in the colorful mural. Only all-natural products are used in the baby’s space (ceramic tile, marble, natural wood, cotton) to maintain the quality of the air young lungs will breathe.
