Hi,
This is a bit of a tangent, but it can be helpful to recognize that green materials are often, but not always, healthful materials. For example the cleaner "Simple Green" is marketed as an environmentally safe cleaner, and it may be environmentally safe but it also has quite a few volatiles that can affect someone with asthma.
Here's a link to a page from the National Center for Healthy Housing that looks at the overlap between green building and healthy housing:

Thanks,
