For the Health of It!
The Source 1 team takes your well-being and your living needs seriously. We are stepping beyond green to healthy. What does that mean?
According to the research, chemicals affect everyone's health, in varying degrees. Here are three indicators that chemicals are present and may be affecting your health.
1. Feel Good, but Not Here: Do you feel better when you are away from home or workplace? If the answer is yes, then your home or workplace may have chemicals that are affecting your health.
2. Cause & Effect, then Repeat: Do you feel ill every time you put on a particular piece of clothing or shop at a particular store? You may be reacting to the chemicals in that product or environment. Pay attention to your surroundings when you feel ill.
3. Watch the Symptoms: Do you often feel dizzy, light headed, fatigued, nauseous, and experience flu-like symptoms that suddenly disappear? You guessed it - might be chemicals that are causing the symptoms.

How do I reduce VOCs?
The most effective way to reduce VOCs is to choose products that do not contain VOCs. As a secondary measure, the air flow and amount of fresh air brought into your home or workplace should be appropriate for the space.
