Reduce exposure to new carpet smell fumes odor offgasing

Chemically Sensitive to Off-gasing, Odor, Chemical Fumes from New Carpeting at Home or at the Office??

There’s a relief – reduce your exposure to harmful, irritant, chemical fumes, odors, gases – with the help of an activated charcoal, activated carbon, chemical filter equipped air filtration system aka air purifiers, air cleaners, air scrubbers.

If you are confused as to how a new carpet carries this irritating smell, then I must mention that it is a industrially processed product. It's quite obvious that it will smell of the chemicals used during its manufacturing. As a matter of fact, new carpets are made from synthetic fibers and other chemicals like latex, soil repellents, flame retardants, anti static sprays, artificial dyes, urethane and mainly VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) like formaldehyde, acetone, benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, styrene which are supposed to be highly toxic in nature. These are often the cause of nausea, fatigue, hair loss, headache, dizziness, irritation as well as nerve damage, respiratory disorders, allergies, rashes, asthma, loss of memory, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), Environmental Illness (EI), nervous system disorders, etc. During warmer temperatures, off gassing of these volatile compounds, in the form of vapors, occur. These vapors persist in the rooms when you buy the new carpet and can well extend to persist up to months and years. These chemicals are also known to be carcinogenic, so just be careful when next time you go to buy a new carpet. You all must have heard of carpet adhesives, I am sure! These adhesives are basically latex compounds, usually styrene butadiene and 4-PC (phenylchlorohexene) generally used for backing the new carpet. These are again highly toxic and detrimental to our health. Along with adults, these odors are generally said to affect children or pets more, if you have any at home. So make sure you buy a good quality carpet which will be nontoxic and serve you the purpose as well!
