Welcome...
If you suffer from chronic headaches, migraines, asthma, allergies, chronic sinus stuffiness, joint pain, chronic fatigue, or any of a number of other vague symptoms and your doctor can not find a medical cause, your environment may be the culpret.  Homes, schools, workplaces, and shopping centers -- virtually any indoor environment -- can all harbor chemical and biological pollutants that can lead to chronic health complaints.  Understanding your environment and the factors that can lead to symptoms can be your first step toward living a healthier life.

This website is intended for anybody who suffers from chronic health problems, as well as anybody interested in protecting their health or the health of their children and family members.  Information within these pages includes articles and reports, steps to create a less toxic environment for you and your family, personal and professional resources for information, and personal experiences.  Information is updated regularly, so check back often.
