Unknown to most consumers, toxins are in many of the common household products that are found on the grocery store and dollar store shelves. And, that doesn't just mean the products with warning labels. Many ingredients are not required to be listed and/or require a consumer warning.
According to the National Research Council, less than 80% of chemicals (used in household products) have been tested by the FDA or manufactures for toxic information and effects. Independent research studies have shown eye opening information about products we assume are "safe to use." Anyone desiring to start eliminating household toxins, should begin with adjusting their consumption of toxic consumer products.
Where do many of the volatile organic compounds come from that gets into the air of our homes? Why, from scented air fresheners and candles! Most air fresheners do not freshen the air. Instead, they just mask the odor, or use nerve agents to deaden the sense of smell.
Household cleaning agents can contain any number of toxic chemicals. Eliminating household toxins, that is, removing dangerous cleaning, cosmetic, aromatic, automotive, and other consumer products, can greatly improve the health of the home and family.
Were you aware that carpet cleaners can also contain an array of toxic chemicals. Some of the most common are: perchloroethylene, Napthalene, butyl cellosolve, aliphatic petroleum solvent, 1,4-dioxane, ethanol, and ammonia.
Taking a proactive approach and eliminating household toxins is always the best option. Although we cannot completely eliminate ALL toxins from our home, the more toxic products that we eliminate from our home, the more our health and the health of our families will improve!
