Default Offgassing from vinyl floors vs. laminate floors

I know vinyl flooring offgasses toxins for quite some time, however, is it like carpet where it stops after a few years or does it continue offgassing for it's whole life. Does laminate flooring (ie: Pergo and such) offgass also? If so, how long does it last (years, decades, forever, etc.). Would vinyl or laminate flooring be worse when it comes to releasing toxins? Thanks, Harry P.S. I know there are other flooring options that are probably better when it comes to offgassing, etc. (ie: linoleum).



Yes, people are dropping dead left and right in enormous numbers from the deadly flooring and carpet gases.

Maybe not dropping dead, but it is one of he main reasons why indoor air quality is so much worse than outdoor.
