Babyproofing the House Project

Non-Toxic Bath Surfaces and Finishes Video

Bob talks with Bernadette Upton of Eco-Decor about her involvement with the American Lung Association's Baby's Breath program and how their key prescriptions for healthy indoor air were applied in the showhouse. They discuss the healthy features of the baby's bathroom, including the use of no VOC (volatile organic compound) paints in the colorful mural. Only all-natural products are used in the baby's space—ceramic tile, marble, natural wood, cotton—to maintain the quality of the air young lungs will breathe.
