[GSBN] Environmental effects of foam insulations

[Chris Magwood]

Hi all, and happy new year to all of you!

I am trying to research the environmental impacts of the production of 
EPS and XPS foam insulations. Obviously, this industry is on the 
defensive, because all I can find are industry-sponsored glossy 
brochures touting the complete benevolence of foam insulations and 
industry-sponsored tests that give me a bunch of numbers I can't 
understand, no comparisons of those numbers to other materials and a 
"see, it's all good" conclusion.

Environmental Building News has had some articles that have been 
helpful. Any other suggestions?

Chris
