Is there a foam insulation product safe for chemically sensitive persons?

I am in the process of building a home and am chemically sensitive. For insulation we are using a BIBs fiberglass system with 2×6 construction. We would like to seal out any cracks with some type of foam but I don’t want to have PBDE’s or chlorinated flame retardants if possible.

I doubt that you will find any spray foam that does not have some toxicity. Even the latex spray foams use petrochemical propellants.
You may have to use a good quality latex caulk, but I would suggest checking the MSDS for any product.
