"Chlorine Gas Is Used in Chemical Warfare—Why Pollute Your Indoor Air With Cleaning Products?"

Use EcoFriendly Cleaners in Your Home

A little over a year ago I became aware of the health risks involved with household cleaners:

  • Volatile chemicals in household cleaners become gaseous at room temperature or form microscopic particles when sprayed—causing lung damage and entering the bloodstream to effect other organs as well.
  • The propellant (methylene chloride a.k.a. dichloromethane) used in lots of aerosol products is a known carcinogen.
  • Some cleaning chemicals, called neurotoxins, can affect the nervous system, reducing emotional well-being, coordination, intelligence, and mental alertness.
  • Other cleaning chemicals, called reproductive toxins, such as teratogen can cause miscarriages, birth defects, pregnancy complications, sterility, and infertility.
  • Carpet cleaners have been linked to Kawasaki disease...though not conclusively.

Just about everything I used had a moderate to high hazardous rating, due to the chemicals they contained...

"Learn How To Prevent/Minimize Asthma & Allergies"

We've all heard that the air in our homes may be (and probably is) more polluted than outdoor air. According to the EPA...

"In the last several years, a growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the air within homes and other buildings can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air in even the largest and most industrialized cities. Other research indicates that people spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors. Thus, for many people, the risks to health may be greater due to exposure to air pollution indoors than outdoors."

"Your Water Contains More Than H2O"

  • chlorine

  • lead

  • arsenic

  • asbestos

  • cryptosporidium

  • fluoride

  • cyanide

  • nitrogen
    derivatives
