We like to think of our homes as clean, safe places. But you may be surprised to learn about the harmful toxins that lurk in some of the most innocuous spaces in and around your house.
Health magazine’s Samantha Heller joined NBC’s Lester Holt on the Today show to discuss the most toxic places in your house—from your child’s toy box to your home office—and how to make them safe.
