Babyproofing the House Project

American Lung Association Showhouse in Florida Video

Bob reviews how building or renovating a house can sometimes be an unhealthy proposition. Asthma, allergies, and other respiratory problems can often be attributed to manmade chemicals in the home. In West Palm Beach, Florida, the American Lung Association has sponsored a designer showhouse that highlights a healthy home. Bob reviews the rooms in the house, each of which is designed by selected interior designers and artists.
