Indoor Air Quality AndJSfew Carpet Brochure
A lot of consumers in the mar
ket for new carpet are concerned
about how carpet affects or con
tributes to indoor air quality. The
I nited States Environmental Protec
tion Agency (EPA) has a recent
brochure for distribution on "Indoor
Air Quality and New Carpet" The
brochure indicates like many other
household products, new carpet can
be a low-level source of chemicals
that are emitted into the air. These
chemical emissions, also called
volatile organic compounds (VOC's)
contribute to the total level of pollu
tants in a building. New carpet is
usually installed during home office
decoration building construction, or
renovation. Interior decorating usu
ally includes the use of new materi
als such as wall treatments (painting,
wallpapering, paneling),floor cover
ing (carpet vinyl, wood, ceramics),
window covering (fabric, wood,
plastic), and furniture. Any or all of
these materials may produce chemi
cal emissions and odors according to

1 am Edith Williams, owner of E"s Salon. "First in Elegance and Hair Perfection" has always
been my ultimate goal. Fourteen years in hair design, certainly qualifies me as some what of
an expert in the hair profession, yet there is always something more to learn. Coming from a
military family, helped me in staying firm in my determination to press on and become anoth
er success stay. "I give thanks to God for all, for without Him I would not have been able to
come this far. It is my desire to help and inspire other hair designers that faith in God, and
determination, makes a good formula for success."
"Contrary to what you have been led to
believe by decades of advertising, everyone is
not born beautiful. But everyone is born with
potential. And that's not the potential to be ? ?
another movie star or supermodel. We're
talking about the potential each person has
to realize their own individual style.
<<
At E's Salon we're dedicated to helping stylists
enhance the unique qualities of each of their clients.
With our stylists our job just got easier...
