The Specialist’s Point of View: Why Biopietra Is the Healthier Choice for Your Home

Why Choose Eco friendly Stone Over Traditional Stone? Health and Environmental Benefits Explained

Healthy stone wall cladding for toxic-free living environments

What are the real benefits of choosing Biopietra® materials for your living space?

Indeed Dr. Orlando Schiappa, is a specialist in Hygiene and Environmental Medicine applied to Green Architecture. He explains that installing a certified healthy stone wall cladding drastically reduces sources of indoor pollution. In fact, replacing synthetic petrochemical products with natural, eco-compatible materials ensures significant energy savings. Therefore, choosing biological materials is a fundamental decision aimed at improving our overall quality of life and physical well-being. Consequently, it helps protect both your family and the environment.

Understanding Indoor and Outdoor Pollution

Too often in fact, one hears about “in-door” and “out-door” pollution, but they do so without much awareness. In this, Dr. Schiappa helps us again: “In-door pollution, the one that undermines the ‘health of the home’, is caused by substances released from closed spaces (rooms, offices, industries) such as micro powders and dust from the use of vacuum cleaners, all sorts of sprays, steam irons, radiators and stoves, electromagnetic fields caused by cell phones and computers.

Consequently their effects have a short and long-term impact on human health conditions. In particular they can lead to the starting of respiratory, cardiovascular, and psychological disorders. Out-door pollution sources, on the other hand, are emissions of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, which are known to be hazardous to the exposure level (monitoring units), as well as fine particulates anddust.

Recently Medical Research has been able to deepen its analysis in the field of pneumological and cardiovascular diseases thanks to Bioarchitecture, identifying in pollution a major cause of the diseases above mentioned.”

Practical Advice and Bio-Materials

“Practical advice that can be provided to the citizen” explains Dr. Schiappa “focuses on the choice of areas rich in natural resources, such as water and green areas and the use of bio-materials such as wood, insulating panels, waterproof sheaths, electrical systems that follow walls and disconnectors, wall-mounted heating.”

However, what if damage has already been done? What are the practical remedies for those who have built their ownhome with traditional materials and would now like to improve their health?

Remedies and Home-Based Analysis

“If a home has already been built with traditional materials,” Schiappa continues, “restructuring through the use of eco-compatible materials and techniques also brings benefits to reducing sources of internal and external pollution, energy consumption. All for a better quality of life and respect for the environment.”

Better go bio, then. In addition, you can get to know your home more than you imagined: to know which environments are most susceptible to indoor pollution, a home-based analysis is conducted by a team of bio-specialists (geologists, architects, engineers, doctors, psychologists) who, by virtue of their expertise, identify the areas, the home and the environment in which they are emetting pollutants.

When we talk about Bioarchitecture, therefore, we are also talking about “prevention”, for ourselves and the environment around us.
