Study Summary

This trial will test new ways to reduce people's exposure to harmful chemicals from common building materials, like plastics, pesticides, and flame retardants. The goal is to develop methods that individuals and households can use to adapt and customize their own exposure reduction plans.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for participants of the HOPE 1000 study who plan to stay in their homes for at least 12 weeks. It's suitable for those interested in reducing home chemical exposure from building materials. Participants must be fluent in English and willing to use a robotic vacuum and wear a silicone wristband.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests methods to lower chemical exposure in homes, focusing on substances like plastic additives, pesticides, flame retardants, and lead. It involves identifying risky building materials, using robotic vacuums to reduce contaminants, and monitoring exposure with wearable wristbands.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
There are no direct medical side effects expected from participating in this trial as it does not involve drugs or invasive procedures. However, there may be indirect effects such as privacy concerns due to data collection or potential inconvenience while using the interventions.
