Are you sensitive to polluants?
By ANDRÉ FAUTEUX, editor of La Maison du 21e siècle magazine

Indoor air must be of the highest quality because there is always at least one sensitive person at home; a foetus, babies, pregnant women, seniors or anyone with healt problems, like allergies and other breathing problems, which affect 20% of the population. They differ from ordinary people in that they are affected by very low doses of contaminants. They may experience several symptoms: headaches, asthma attacks, fatigue, digestive problems or skin rashes. Like every baby, a hypersensitive person has a detoxification enzyme deficiency. They have been poisoned, typically to pesticides, mould, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde or other chemicals.
