While we sell non-toxic building supplies and finishing products, these are most appropriately used over other non-toxic products. I don't want to give you false hope, you have poisoned your home and obviously, you are now having an adverse physical reaction to that. You want to increase airflow and get the off-gassing to work itself out as quickly as possible.Failing that, Provided the Behr Marquee paint is water-based and completely dry, you could coat over that with AFM Safecoat Acrylacq to try and seal in VOCs. Alternately you could re-paint entirely going over with a 1-2 punch of AFM Safecoat Transitional Primer followed up with a couple of coats of AFM Zero VOC Paint, both these products are designed to combat off-gassing. Your Pergo floor is a more complicated issue, as it is probably off-gassing from the bottom, the sides and the top. Depending on the method of installation, you probably only have access to the top. You could try and seal with AFM Safecoat Hard Seal on the top, but even IF that works (it's a MAYBE proposition at best, we strongly recommend you buy a small sample and test to make sure you get a good bond), the off-gassing will just continue to occur along the sides and the bottom. (Of course, this presumes removing the Pergo floor entirely and starting over is not an option. The first step in creating a non-toxic home is to physically remove anything emitting toxins.)
