What a perfect time to make the switch and go green. Why? The proof is there. Studies by the EPA, CDC, NIH and especially the Lung Study. Here are some findings from that study:
- Weekly use of national brand home cleaners are as damaging to lungs as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years
- Women are affected more than men
- Cleaning at home is just as harmful as being an occupational cleaner, if not more so
- Liquid cleaners are just as dangerous as sprays
- Dangerous chemicals, including ammonia, bleach and quaternary disinfectant compounds appear to be primary culprits
- Women who regularly use cleaning products have increased rates of asthma
- Damage is cumulative over time
Unfortunately, some products are marketed as green when they really aren’t. And then products that you touch everyday, like your Dawn dish soap have FORMALDEHYDE in them. What touches your skin is absorbed by the skin!
