I just ran across this article: http://health.usnews.com/articles/health/living-well-usn/2008/06/12/your-shower-curtain-might-be-bad-for-you.html It discusses shower curtains, but has a link to another site with a whole list of potentially harmful household and building products. How about vinyl windows? Is that a PVC sort of vinyl?
