If you live in a cold region, the insulation value outweighs the negatives. If you live in a temperate to hot climate, then not so much.
That said,,, What do I have? The fluffy pink stuff. I'm not spraying that crp in my house until I know for sure it's completely safe. How long did it take for people to realize the danger of BPA in food containers?
You seem to be saying insulation is more important in a cold region than it is in a warm region. I live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and it gets damn hot here in the summer. Insulation is just as important here as it is up north.
My RV barn is insulated with closed cell foam where I've monitored the temps for a couple of years. It makes a BIG difference both in summer and winter. I'm now looking at renovating my house and I plan on putting in spray in foam. I'd like to do closed cell, but I've been told I should use open cell instead. Reason being, if there's leak in the roof I'll know it before major damage is done.
