Believe It Or Not!

"Believe it or not, conventional, petrochemical-based cleaning products are major contributors to the toxicity of your home. They are the only household products that remain regulated under the 1960 Federal Hazardous Substances Labeling Act. In addition, it is difficult to determine exactly how hazardous cleaning products are, since manufacturers are not required to disclose ingredients.

But many cleaning products include chlorine, ammonia, artificial petroleum-based fragrances, detergents and many more ingredients that are known or suspected to be toxic to the human body. In fact, many of the chemicals that are unregulated and yet found in conventional household cleaning products are not allowed in workplaces due to Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) regulations.

 

          Many people do not yet appreciate the significant benefits on their health and on the environment of using natural cleaning products. (Full Story continued)

DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICANTS
Developmental toxicants are agents that cause adverse effects on the developing child. Effects can include birth defects, low birth weight, biological dysfunctions, or psychological or behavioral deficits that become manifest as the child grows. Maternal exposure to toxic chemicals during pregnancy can disrupt the development or even cause the death of the fetus. Exposure of pregnant women to mercury, lowers birth weight and can cause severe brain damage in children. While developmental toxicity usually results from prenatal exposures to toxicants experienced by the mother, it can also result from paternal exposures. For example, the occupational exposure of men to vinyl chloride has been associated with increased rates of spontaneous abortion in their wives. Early postnatal contact with toxicants can also affect normal development. Exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke, for example, increases an infant's risk of contracting respiratory infections or succumbing to sudden infant death syndrome.
