Preferred subfloor material and adhesive for minimum off-gassing?

Does some subfloor and adhesive rate better than others for minimum off-gassing? Regular OSB is the least expensive, but are some brands better than others? and the same with subfloor adhesive; is there a healthier brand for indoor air quality or is it all about the same?

I used Huber Adventech flooring and Loctite PL Premium adhesive because both products are rated as emitting low levels of chemicals. There might be better choice, however.
