Here's an excerpt:
"Perhaps the worst offenders when it comes to building healthier houses are synthetic carpets. They can contain a variety of substances that
outgas for many years. These gases are what you smell when you enter a carpet store or newly carpeted room.
Carpet features, such as color fastness, stain proofing and fire resistance, are achieved by the use of chemicals. Carpets outgas these chemicals at the highest rates
for the first few years but continue slowly for many years thereafter."
