Hello! Interested in the “Building a Healthy House” pdf file but the link isn’t working. Do you know if this is still available? Thanks!
It appears they took it down.
The HEPA filter link goes to lighting info and I really need the HEPA info.
Can that link be fixed, Ben?
Thanks so much,
Linda

Here is a product we've used. It has a bit of a hum, so I wouldn't recommend it in a bedroom closet. http://www.pureairsystems.com/Pure-Air-Systems-IN…

The blackout shades link is searching for “black out lutron” on Amazon. I’m assuming that’s a typo.
Fixed!
