New furniture smell
You may think you love the smell of your new couch, just like you love the smell of a new car because it smells fresh. But this home odor problem is probably caused by volatile organic compounds.
Many folks don’t realize that indoor levels of toxins can be ten times higher than those found outside, and furniture is one reason for this happening. VOCs can have a powerful smell but can also harm your health.
The EPA says they can cause nose, eye, and throat irritation. But also headaches, and even more severe conditions, like liver and kidney damage. The best way to eliminate VOCs is to get an air purifier containing a carbon filter.
Has a new object in your home continued to have a strong smell after a month? Well, you might want to ask for your money back.
