Why Should I Worry

According to the EPA, most homes have airborne concentrations of hazardous chemicals that are two to five times higher indoors than outdoors.

According to the EPA, toxic chemicals found in the home are three times more likely to cause cancer than outdoor airborne pollutants.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission connects 150 chemicals commonly found in our homes to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological disorders.

The National Cancer Institute has a list of twenty known carcinogens and over 2,200 chemicals that are probable carcinogens. Many of these chemicals are in the cleaners and personal care products you buy at your local grocery store.

What can you do?

There are many safe products on the market... all you have to do is change brands of products.
