Interiors 
Don’t install carpeting in busy entryways or in moist rooms such as laundry rooms, bathrooms, kitchens or utility rooms. Use as little carpet as possible, but if you must, use safer, more durable, and safer carpeting certified by the Carpet and Rug Institute.
Interiors 
Work with particleboard and/or MDF that is in compliance with codes A208.1 & A208.2 of the American National Standards Institute.
Interiors 
Particleboard, Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), and carpeting with its associated padding and adhesives typically emit urea formaldehyde, a known carcinogen, and other Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) which are hazardous to your health.
