When you move into a brand new house are the paint, material and adhesive smells harmful to us?

Is there anything harmful or dangerous you would commonly find in a new home?When you move into a brand new house are the paint, material and adhesive smells harmful to us?
The worst fumes I've seen come from certain carpets. Particle board and, to a much lesser extent, plywood also outgas. Formaldehyde is one of the biggies. Fortunately, these problems don't seem to be too bad in new houses, I think mostly because it takes a few months to build them, and they spend some time getting ventilation first. I used to notice fumes really bad in new mobile homes from the factory - they're built in a day or two, then sealed in plastic and shipped out. No new house seems as bad at outgassing to me as new cars are - now there's something that smells toxic. Even that goes away in a few months with the windows and doors being opened.





Now, there are people with chemical sensitivities, and some of them can hardly live in modern homes. Whether the rest of us are bothered by common paints, materials, and adhesives in a lesser way I guess isn't really known yet, but most of us are still here kickin...When you move into a brand new house are the paint, material and adhesive smells harmful to us?
We built a house last year. When we moved in we cleaned painted got new furniture etc. The paint smells are only harm-full if you


sleep in the same room in witch you have painted. The adhesives can get a little nauseating but they wont hurt you. I would suggest to keep the windows open or go outside for some fresh air every once and a while. You should be fine. congratulations on our new house!
