ARE YOU LIVING IN A TOXIC HOME?
A FEW FACTS THAT ARE REALLY CONCERNING TO ME THAT MANY PEOPLE MIGHT NOT THINK ABOUT:
- More than 9 out of 10 suspected poison exposures occur at home with household products.
- Women who work at home have a 54% higher death rate from cancer than women who work outside the home.
Another pretty scary thought is that children are highly vulnerable to chemical toxins because pound for pound of body weight, children eat more food, drink more water and breathe more air than adults which in turn gives them subsequently heavier exposures than adults to any toxicants that are present in water, food or air.
Did you know that the average U.S. home generates more than 20 pounds of household hazardous waste each year! The EPA has listed toilet cleaners, tub & tile cleaners, oven cleaners & bleach as hazardous waste.
**Even dish wash liquid, a product you would think is safe, contains petroleum based surfactants that stay around in the environment, and the fragrance of this product is stabilized with phthalates.**
And the tub, tile and sink cleaners that I mentioned before, many of these products contain chlorine and may contribute to the formation of organochlorines which is a dangerous class of compounds that can cause reproductive, endocrine and immune system disorders. Many also contain phosphoric acid, which is corrosive and irritates our eyes, lungs and skin.
I feel it is so important to educate ourselves more about how we can improve our indoor air quality to help our family overcome Asthma, Allergies & ultimately other diseases. Commercial cleaners are very harsh and weaken our immune systems which make us more vulnerable to disease.
But there is hope, we just need to educate ourselves and switch to non-toxic cleaning products that will keep our family and environment safe!!
