New Book Reveals the Overlooked Toxins Impacting American Homes

A shocking exposé reveals how everyday home materials harm your family—and the proven steps to detox, protect, and rebuild your health.

ORLANDO, FL, UNITED STATES, May 30, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- What if the place you trust the most is secretly making you sick? In his groundbreaking new release, The Poisoned Home: How Hidden Toxins Are Destroying Your Family’s Health & Wealth—And How to Eliminate Them, author, eco-innovator Christopher Penn uncovers the shocking truth behind America’s indoor environments—and the price we all pay for ignoring it.

“Toxic building materials aren’t just a health issue—they’re a trillion-dollar crisis,” says Penn. “People are living in homes that are slowly poisoning them and draining their life savings in medical bills, energy waste, and loss of days of work due to illness.”

Backed by 20+ years of field research and real-world experience, The Poisoned Home is a wake-up call to homeowners, renters, real estate professionals, and policymakers. From mold and flame retardants to VOCs, formaldehyde, pesticides, and off-gassing furniture, Penn reveals how indoor air can be up to 100x more polluted than outdoor air, according to the EPA.

Key Facts from The Poisoned Home:
90% of U.S. homes contain some level of mold contamination (NIOSH)

Indoor air pollution causes over 4 million deaths annually (WHO)

90% of people spend 90% of their time indoors—often surrounded by toxins

The average American household has over 400 toxic chemicals present

But The Poisoned Home isn’t just doom and gloom. It’s a practical guide to reclaiming your health and wealth. Readers will learn how to detox their living spaces, choose safer alternatives, and implement simple but powerful changes that make their homes healthier, more energy-efficient, and sustainable.
