Quality of living and health are closely interconnected. 

Italian clay products are particularly important in this context because no pollutants are emitted during their use.

Their specific characteristics include:

 

    • Zero emissions of dust or natural or man-made fibres
  • Zero emissions of volatile or semi-volatile organic compounds, usually included within the definition of VOCs. Clay is an inert material that does not release any gaseous compounds.
  • Absence of mould and fungal growth. Clay is a permeable material that prevents the formation of humidity.
  • No harmful emissions in the event of fire: clay is an incombustible mineral material that does not release toxic fumes. Its high thermal inertia prevents the build-up of heat on the side not exposed to the fire, allowing occupants to safely evacuate the building.
