New Homes: How Toxic Are Some Modern Construction Materials?
WLLW investigates the health risks associated with building materials and how to develop a healthier new build.
Water Quality:
Vital to life, humans wouldn’t be here without it. When it comes to water in our homes, it is not only about having high-quality water to consume and for daily use, but also about being wise in how we treat the resource. Water quality testing is important and we advocate for the installation of home systems that purify and filter water to remove contaminants, while ensuring disinfectant levels are sufficient to control microbes. Smart systems can control usage and reduce your bills, whereas careful planning in the construction process can minimize water footprints. Considerations also involve monitoring and mitigating excess moisture from entering the home, avoiding mold and dampness, as well as preventing stagnation in pipes.
