1. Using the latest scientific data, the book describes how governments are failing to protect the public by not regulating chemicals and electromagnetic fields in consumer products, why consumers need to take matters into their own hands before they can make an informed choice, and the evidence correlating allergens like mould, wireless technologies and toxicants in our water and everyday products, with chronic illnesses (asthma, allergies, autism, chronic fatigue syndrome and various cancers etc) typically found in western countries. 
2. The book is specifically written in layman’s terms to provide consumers with checklists to assess their own home, and educate them on how to reduce their exposure to manmade chemicals and electromagnetic fields whilst living in a technological world. It provides building designers, architects and tradespersons the steps to build a healthy home and provides doctors and health practitioners with the knowledge to diagnose environmental sensitivities. 
3. Nicole is an authority on health hazards in the built environment having single handedly established the building biology industry in Australia, runs the only nationally accredited course in healthy homes (building biology), is currently completing her PhD (mould, environmental chemicals and wireless technology) and is an invited speaker at medical conferences in Australia and abroad on electromagnetic fields, mould and toxicants in the home.
