What you don't know IS hurting you, your children, grandchildren and even your pets.

The industries profiting from health issues, environmental damage, and economic instability don't want you asking questions - or finding answers to questions you didn't know to ask. The information in this visitor-funded web site breaks down the connections between petrochemicals, corporate interests, and the entire profit-from-harm business plan. Read, think, and if it makes sense, share it. The more people who see the bigger picture, the harder it becomes to ignore.

Luxury vinyl flooring (LVF) is often marketed as a durable, stylish, waterproof, termiteproof, mold resistant, affordable upgrade, especially in upscale homes and renovations, but it's really just another rebranded toxic PVC (polvinyl chloride) product. Beneath its appealing facade lie significant health and environmental concerns.

Health Risks Associated with LVF

Off-Gassing and Indoor Air Quality

LVF is made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which can emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air - a process known as off-gassing. These emissions can lead to headaches, respiratory issues, hormonal disruptions, and even cancer. Children and pets, who spend more time near the floor, are particularly vulnerable.

Presence of Phthalates

Phthalates, used to make PVC flexible, are known endocrine disruptors linked to reproductive issues and developmental problems in children. A study found that 58% of vinyl flooring tested contained phthalates.

Environmental Impact

Manufacturing Concerns

The production of PVC involves chlorine, which can release dioxins - highly toxic compounds that persist in the environment and accumulate in the food chain.

Disposal Challenges

LVF is not biodegradable and is difficult to recycle due to its multi-layered composition. When incinerated, it releases harmful substances like dioxins and hydrochloric acid gas into the atmosphere that can travel many miles before attaching to water and falling to the ground when it rains.

Safer Alternatives

For those seeking healthier and more usstainable flooring options, consider:

Solid Hardwood: Durable and can be refinished many times.

Bamboo: Rapidly renewable and has a similar aesthetic to hardwood.

Cork: Naturally antimicobial and provides a cushioned surface.

Linoleum: Made from natural materials like linseed oil and wood flower.

When selecting flooring, look for certifications such as FloorScore or GreenGuard, which inidcate lower VOC emissions of the VOCs they actually test for.

Conclusion

While LVF offers certain practical benefits, its potential health risks and environmental drawbacks make it a less desirable choice for conscientious homeonwners. Exploring alternative materials can lead to a healthier living environment and a more sustainable future.

This stuff is going to last forever... and get dumped on top of all the other decomposing toxic waste that will last forever...

Just remember who benefits most from telling people LVF is super safe and non-toxic...

The same exact petrochem industry that profits from all the chemicals, plastics and equipment required to treat the ailments caused by exposure to what we already know full well is toxic...
