Are You Living in a Toxic Home?

Are You Living in a Toxic Home?

Last year the most common poison exposures for children were ingestion of household products, such as cleaning substances. Chlorine is the number one cause of child poisonings in the US.

150 chemicals found in the home are associated with alleriges, birth defects, cancer and psychological disorders. Women often work closely with potentially toxic chemicals, and preliminary reserach suggests taht thir phyiology is more conductive to absorbing and carrying these chemicals. Research estimates the health care cost of US women's environmentally associated diseases is $12.2 billion annually.

Whether you have children or not, you need to be aware of the potential problems that can be caused by toxic cleaners. We need to care for the environment for ourselves, our children and future generations.
