That can all be the same, however, the "heard" can be just as critically examined as the believed on the other side. Neither of the two has a greater claim to be a neutral fact. I consider it self-evident to check that and also spend money on it when buying a house. Dominance in internet forums does not have a more significant position than a technical discussion at the regulars' table. Your house is individual in building and residents and must therefore also be viewed individually.

Almost everything has also faded away. Don’t think about how polluted it was there 40 years ago.

It is a fact that the vast majority of indoor pollutants are not specific to "prefabricated" or "solid" houses (but rather specific to the year of construction) and therefore cannot be construction method-specific, also because no one lives in empty houses, and pollutants from furniture and home textiles can "penetrate" into building components of the house. If a substance is recognized as hazardous and banned, it cannot simply be omitted, but is instead replaced by another whose harmlessness is often hoped for more than proven. Even the chips in today’s particle boards do not hold together by the power of belief. But through additives, which also emit gases – though decreasingly. The current binders – possibly just not yet recognized and detected by measuring devices – regularly emit gases “more actively” when “freshly installed” and therefore may, despite lowered threshold values, reach a higher hazard potential than the old materials allowed in. And with asbestos, for example, the greatest hazard potential is released during removal. The residents of the previous years of use have already absorbed emitted pollutants, but of course they did not professionally sit in the rooms like sponges. Their ventilation behavior is often unknown. Since hardly anyone would want to live together with indicator organisms as pets, life will probably continue to be associated with residual risks. Have you ever had the same measurement done “for fun” in your current apartment?

I can only say one thing, if we turn off the ventilation system for a longer time due to absence, the VOC level sometimes rises to 3,000 ppm because all the furniture in the house was newly purchased. Only in the guest room is there a 10-year-old bed and a similarly old wardrobe, and the values are always best there.

We have decided against the house (I with a heavy heart) and are now on the verge of buying a new build in a beautiful NBG.

... a used house or a first occupancy from a developer?
