What Gases Should We Be Concerned About?

Gases--another component of unhealthy IAQ. What are examples of these? Any spray fragrance, perfume, deodorant, insect spray, and repellants to name a few. Other examples are the "off-gasing" that occurs from flame retardants in fabrics, chemicals in carpets, furniture, paint, etc. Our cleaners under our sinks produce unhealthy gases. We are bombarded with these gases in our sealed up energy efficient homes.
Sometimes there are odors associated with these gases sometimes they are just silent and slowly deadly.
Sounds pretty overwhelming doesn't it? What is the solution?
We'll cover that another time. Next time humidity.
