I'd suggest you forget about that "Green" rating company. They seem to be in the business of rubber-stamping Mfg's that pay the price to have their stamp on the exterior.
It sounds to me that you are sensitive to certain materials that off-gas when new. This would be the plastics, adhesives, and materials woven with organic hydrocarbons. Most of this problem should go away with ventilation and time. You could always buy some odor absorbers to get over the initial time that it takes for the materials to off-gas. At least the odors would be under control so you aren't reminded continually that it is occurring. An alternative would be to buy something used as the off-gassing has already dissipated.
I can believe it now...about the TRA ratings. What a disillusioning experience! Yes, we have pretty much decided to buy used....for many reasons.
