Building a Healthy House

摘要

Things that most of us barely notice have led Lisa Kauffman Tharp to take some pretty drastic action. Like repack her entire family the morning after arriving at an oceanfront vacation cottage because she awoke feeling like there was a pile of bricks on her chest. Like relocate from her home in Austin, Texas, to-quite literally-put some breathing room between her highly sensitive lungs and the native cedar trees. Like finally pull out all the stops to build a house in Concord, Mass., in the hope that it would allow her to live her chemically sensitive life in peace and in good health.
