Is Your House Killing You?

DOCUMENTARY SERIES

A new seven-part reality series
Begins October 17, 7.30pm

Screening on SBS television, Wednesday, October 17 at 8.30pm, Is Your House Killing You? is an entertaining scientific makeover show about toxics in the home. It once and for all separates the facts from the filth and provides valuable tips and tricks for the viewer.

In this era of cocooning, creating a retreat from the world has become an intense focus of our lives. We spend most of our time indoors. But in creating this haven, little do we know that there is a parallel universe within that is more toxic than the one we’re trying to escape. Government and media focus has shifted to indoor air pollution. And the main culprits are right under your nose – mould, pesticides, solvents, deodorizers, cleansers, dusty carpets, paint, particleboards, adhesives, fumes from gas heating…

The focus of the show is to bring the invisible dangers to light, and provide guidance for the viewers. Recent studies confirm that the wider community is concerned about toxins but most people don’t understand the issues and desperately want information about the hidden health and environmental risks indoors. Research is indicating that 21st Century disease, Sick Building Syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivities and other chronic diseases such as asthma and eczema are on the rise. The ongoing value of this show is that it is not only fun to watch the experts track down the culprits and find solutions, but it also interprets science for household use.
