Window Treatments

Avoid window blinds made from PVC, another material that gives off dioxins not to mention it is not recyclable or reusable.  Window blinds made from cotton, metal or wood are healthier choices as these products have lower emissions. 

Bamboo window blinds are not only attractive and have no dangerous emissions, but they use a rapidly renewable resource so are one of the most environmentally friendly materials you can find. 

Although not related to air quality, the other important issue with window blinds involves the danger of dangling cords.  Although today’s window blinds are much safer than they were in the past, it’s best to choose cordless blinds in the baby’s room.
