Thank you! I love that you've done this testing on caulks. You could do this for literally any product. Tape is an issue for me. Ink in certain pens are an issue for me. I can tolerate things for short periods of time but long-term I need to be conscious about what I use. I go through a similar process to determine what is going to be safe for me to use. Thank you again for your work!

Hi Corinne, I checked the MSDS and some of these products list Cancer, Organ Damage, Reproductive Organ Damage etc. After the VOC's have off-gased are they no longer health risks?

Hi Corinne, I don't know if you remember me, but you helped me so much with your consultations! My Husband and I are moving into a trailer. I would love to see a video or vlog on a master list pf housewares for a trailer:)

Thank you! Really helpful! Do most caulks stop offgassing VOCs after they dry? I hear a lot of people recommend DAP 100% silicone. What is the caulk that is most VOC free after curing? Or is there such a caulk?

Corinne, do you have recommendations on (ceramic enamel) bathtubs? One can't just buy any ceramic bathtub, can they still be toxic (even if they are ceramic)? 🤔

Hi Corinne, ive searched your site but couldn't find any info on the following. When I move rooms in the house I sleep well in that room for one week and the room smells fresh,then after that week the room doesn't smell fresh and I sleep terrible. Are you familiar with this, I wonder if dental cavities can cause toxins from a person's mouth to toxify a room?
