There is actually a way around it. It’s called “using natural materials where possible” and “doing research on new materials before shoving them in every home.” Stop with this “everything is awful so why even try?” mentality.

So are rugs that arent cotton or wool. So is most cheap furniture.

Everything is toxic. Everything. no way around it.

Marmoleum is safer choice.

I get it OP but yes, plastic endo-disrupting carcinogenic stuff is in virtually every single new construction material, sadly.

Linoleum and cork are slightly healthier options. Frankly I prefer the look of both of these to vinyl (which was originally aping linoleum anyway).

I anything called luxury ain’t. Apartments. Hotels. Flooring.

And VINYL is made from chlorine gas and releases Dioxin, you know the poison agent used by spies.

There’s a reason they market it by it’s acronym.

So are all windows that aren’t wood. Furniture too. Can’t avoid it these days. Cheap is the American way.

Plastic has been found in human lung tissue and blood. We're all just cesspools of industrial waste.

I’m sure it is. But so is the clear crap they brush on hardwood. Carpet is also toxic.

It is an unregulated industry. Some links:

It’s not an ingestion concern. It’s the plastics and vocs in the air. Every single article that came up was about how they are toxic and carcinogenic and rates and children for exposure to toxic chemicals are much higher than considered acceptable if they had LVP in their homes

Are you eating it?

Bumping. Does no one else worry about this?

Did some research on LVP tonight. It sounds like this flooring is toxic? Why is it permitted? Seems to be in many of the basements in our area.
