This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I wouldn't be so sure that your living space isn't filled with carcinogens, too. The air inside is coming somewhere, and furniture, carpets etc. often gas out harmful substances.

Yeah, it farts formaldehyde

Depends on what it's made of. If it's like pure, unadultered cotton or wool it's probably inert, but the kinds of carpet that are supposed to cover a room wall-to-wall and have a sort of rubbery bottom tend to be rather unhealthy.

I have an air filter with active carbon.

*that was reviewed on house fresh.

IDK why people are downvoting this so much ... I think it's a good idea and I should probably get one, and a sensor to check it.

It's something that everyone should have imo. Especially with increased risk of forest fires. I have the Shark HP102 which has built in sensors, most of them do I think. Ofc it's always good to cross reference. :3
