Toxic Chemicals – Cellulose is treated with a toxic fire retardant. Mineral wool and fiber glass insulation do not contain toxic fire retardants.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – Spray foam insulation off-gasses VOCs. Formaldehyde-free fiber glass insulation does not.

Mold prevention – insulation is part of a whole-home approach to managing moisture and preventing mold.
