Summary
That “new” smell you notice when you open a box of furniture or get into a brand-new car? It’s not harmless—it’s a toxic cocktail of chemicals trapped inside modern materials.
Air quality expert and founder of Jaspr, Mike Feldstein, returns to discuss the devastating impact of wildfires on homes, air, and health—and why post-fire damage goes far beyond what you can see. We explore the real dangers of toxic smoke exposure, insurance pitfalls, DIY cleanup strategies, and critical steps to protect your home and body from long-term harm.
Plus: mold-proofing your space, AI hacks for navigating insurance claims, and how to rethink the future of healthy homes.
