Scented Cleaning Products. In the same vein as perfume and air fresheners, most scented cleaning products that are imbued with "spring meadow" or "moonlight breeze" most notably laundry detergent and fabric softeners - rely on synthetic fragrance. And many of those may cause acute effects such as respiratory irritation, headache, sneezing, and watery eyes, just for starters. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health found that more than 30percent of the substan...ces used in the fragrance industry are toxic. But again, they get to be placed under the mystery ingredient of "fragrance" since they are considered trade secrets. What does "moonlight breeze smell like anyway. Rather than dousing the things you wear in these chemicals and spraying them all around you home, opt for all-natural cleaners or fragrance-free products. And note there is a difference between fragrance-free and unscented. Fragrance-free should indicate that no fragrances have been added, unscented just means it has no scent, sometimes fragrances are added to unscented products to mask the smell of other ingredients.

Antibacterial Soaps. We have been on the antibacterial-soap soapbox for years and the rest of the world is catching on. A few companies have started to reformulate their products without Triclosan (the most common antibacterial chemical in antibacterial soaps) and Minnesota became the first state to ban it n consumer products for cleaning or sanitizing. Why? Consumer Reports lays it out pretty tidily. Antibacterial soaps won't help prevent infections caused by viruses. ... Antibacterial soaps aren't better than soap and water at preventing even bacterial infections. Overuse of antibacterial soaps may breed resistant bacteria. Triclosan may pose other health risks too. It could contribute to infertility, early puberty, obesity and other problems. Other research hints that children with long exposure to triclosan may be more likely to develop allergies. Triclosan is so ubiquitous these days, that in one recent study the chemical was detected in the urine of 75 percent of the people tested. Antibacterial soaps may be harmful to the environment. We don't need it in our homes, plain old soap and water is a beautiful thing.

Pesticides Pesticides are meant to kill things. Of course an ant's body is different from the human body, but what's toxic to pests is toxic to humans too. Pesticide exposure has been linked to headaches, nausea, skin irritation. and other symptoms. And a recent study found that children who had been exposed to insecticides indoors were 47 percent more likely to have leukemia and 43 percent more likely to have lymphoma. Other evidence connects home pesticide use with neurological consequences, such as lower IQ and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Look for non-toxic approaches.

Oven Cleaner Corrosive oven cleaners like Easy Off are tough on baked on gunk...and even tougher on your body. . The National Institute of Health lists as symptoms of swallowing or merely breathing in oven clearers. Breathing difficulty, throat swelling, severe pain in the throat, severe pain or burning in the nose, eyes, ears, lips, or tongue, vision loss, abdominal pain, bloody stools, burns and possible holes in the esophagus, vomiting, possibly bloody, collapse, low blood pressure -develops rapidly, severe change in blood acid level - leads to organ damage, skin burns, hole in the skin or underlying tissues, irritation.

Make your house a haven, not a toxic waste site. As humans we are had-wired for progress, we are an animal that can't stop striving. But along with all the advances we've gained comes no shortage of mess, on in particular is the multitude of chemicals we've created. And unfortunately, we are bombarded with the things. Environmental chemicals are so pervasive, in fact that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention monitors a whopping 298 of them that have been found i...n humans - many of them courtesy of consumer products. These kinds of chemicals are known to build up in the body and can lea to a demise in health, from infertility and birth defects to certain kinds of cancer, Avoiding all environmental chemicals would prove virtually impossible, but you can try and lessen the load by not bringing things home that are known to add to the chemical soup we are living in, Here are some places to start, See more

I am so happy that people are reading my posts. There is so much information out there. I have only just begun to share what I am learning.

10. Sunscreen Research on animals suggests that chemicals in some sunscreens, including oxygenzone, all cause health problems when they penetrate the skin. The safest sunscreens are made with ingredients such as zincpxide and titanium dioxide, but they can be very expensive. In general avoid aerosol spray sunscreens which you can accidentally inhale, as well as sunscreens containing chemical inredients such as oxybenzone, octinoxate, retinal palmitate (a form of vitamin A) and fraganes.

9. Antiperspirants. Many antiperspirants use aluminum based compounds and other chemicals which are absorbed into the sweat glands. While there are ongoing studies on possible health impacts of antiperspirants, and there ae many chemical free bands of natural deodorant sticks and sprays that don't contain parabens and all ingredients with "PEG" in there name (PEG)" in there name (such as PEG-8 and PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil."
