According to chemical tests conducted by the Ecology Center, your wallpaper may be the next hazardous source of harmful chemicals in your home. There may very well be dangerous chemicals in wallpaper used in your house! The Ecology Center conducted tests on more than 1,000 types of flooring and a stunning 2,300 different types of wallpaper. The results of their study proved that a shocking number of these products contain a wide range of chemicals. These chemicals include:
- Lead
- Chlorine
- Bromine
- Cadmium
- Arsenic
- Mercury
- Tin compounds
- Phthalates
All of these chemicals are heavy metals, and they have been linked to health problems such as:
- Cancer
- Birth defects
- Liver toxicity
- Asthma
- Reproductive problems
- Learning disabilities
Pretty serious news, right?
But how can you know if your wallpaper is harmful for your health? What kinds of wallpaper contain these dangerous chemicals, and which are safe?
It all comes down to three little letters: PVC.
If your wallpaper is made with PVC, it’s far more likely to contain these hazardous chemicals than wallpaper (or flooring) made without PVC. PVC is made using phthalates, and it was proven that PVC products are 700% more likely to contain harmful chemicals than non-PVC products. Roughly 45% of PVC-containing products were loaded with chemicals, compared to 6% of those non-PVC products.

When shopping for wallpaper, look for products that do not contain PVC. Buy flooring made from hardwood, cork, linoleum, or bamboo, and look for non-PVC wallpaper. Do that, and your home will be a much safer place to live. You won’t have to worry about chemicals from these non-vinyl alternatives.
Sadly, finding non-PVC wallpaper may be easier said than done. Many manufacturers make their wallpaper using PVC, simply because the PVC makes the wallpaper more resistant to damage and wear. You may have to do some serious hunting in order to find non-PVC wallpaper, and you will likely pay a higher price.
