Opt for low-VOC or zero-VOC paint, adhesives, and sealants, and choose flooring and cabinetry made from natural materials like hardwood or bamboo. Proper ventilation during construction and installing high-quality air filtration systems can also help minimize VOC exposure. Prioritize eco-friendly and health-conscious building materials for better indoor air quality. 🏡🌱

To reduce VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in new construction, opt for low-VOC or VOC-free paints and finishes. 🎨🚫 Use natural or low-emission materials for flooring and cabinetry. Also, ensure proper ventilation during and after construction to help dissipate any lingering chemicals. 🌬️🛠️ Regularly airing out your space and using air purifiers can also make a big difference.
