There are many chemicals used in our households daily that effect or can affect the safety of you, your family, and the environment. Did you know that the Consumer Product Safety Commission reported that 150 common household chemicals had been linked to birth defects, cancer, allergies, and psychological abnormalities? Indoor air pollution is one of the nation's most important environmental health problems as stated by the EPA in a report to Congress. The EPA even reported that a significant amount of homes had chemical levels that were seventy times higher indoors than outdoors.

Children are Uniquely Vulnerable to Toxins

We need to take preventative actions by developing and using alternatives to the substances known to contribute to learning disabilities, asthma, cancer and other childhood diseases. These actions can start at home! Read more at the Institute for Children's Environmental Health

Interesting Facts

Did You Know, as stated on Concerned Moms?

• There are more than 3 million poisonings every year.
• Household cleaners are the #1 cause of poisonings in children.
• Regular shampoos often contain formaldehyde as a preservative.
• Since 1980 asthma has increased by 600%.
• Common household products have been identified as triggers of asthma.
• A 15 year study found that women who worked at home had a 54% higher death rate from cancer than women who had jobs outside the home.
• Manufacturers ARE NOT required to list the exact ingredients on a label.
• Chemical names are often disguised by using "trade names", so you may not recognize the chemical for what it truly is.
• A women's fertility has also been negatively affected by the increase use of chemicals. In 1934 only 21 cases of endometriosis existed in the entire world. Today over 5 million women have this condition, which causes infertility in the US alone.

Did you know that children spend 12 to 20 hours a day in their homes? Each year, over 1 million children are accidentally poisoned in their homes. "There's a growing body of evidence making a connection between how well children perform in school and life and toxins in their environment."

Following is a Summary of Information from Kay Hizer, Director of "Healthy Choices", a non-profit organization comprised of doctors, nurses, environmental scientists and educators committed to teaching the public about the hazards of chemicals in our homes and how we can avoid or minimize the risks. In addition to the list of products, several other statistics were reported:

50% of all illness is due to poor indoor air quality (Source: 1989 State of Massachusetts Study)

Liquid Dish Soap is the leading cause of poisonings in the home for children under the age of 6 (over 2.1 million accidental poisonings per year) (contains formaldehyde and ammonia in most brands)

Of the chemicals found in personal care products:

• 884 are toxic
• 146 cause tumors
• 218 cause reproductive complications
• 314 cause biological mutation
• 376 cause skin and eye irritations

Over the last 20-30 years, as more toxic chemicals have been introduced in greater amounts, the level of toxins stored in adipose tissues (fat cells) of our bodies has risen. Bio-accumulation studies have shown that some toxins store in our bodies for life. Greater and greater amounts are being stored at younger ages. Diseases that used to occur later in life are now appearing at younger ages. Diseases that used to be rare are more frequent.

For Example: There has been a 28% increase in childhood cancer since the addition of pesticides into household products. (Source: National Cancer Institute)

In one decade, there has been a 42% increase in asthma (29% for men; 82% for women - the higher rate for women is believed to be due to women's longer exposure times to household chemicals) (Source: Center for Disease Control)

Due to the increase in toxic buildup in our bodies, including the toxic buildup of formaldehyde, dead bodies are not decomposing as fast as they used to. (Source: National Institutes of Health)

There is an increased risk for leukemia in children where parents have used pesticides in the home or garden before the child's birth. (Source: Journal of the National Cancer Institute)

Over 150 chemicals found in the average home have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological abnormalities. (Source): Consumer Product Safety Commission

Toothpaste can contain a number of harmful ingredients, such as: ammonia, benzyl alcohol/sodium benzoate, colors, ethanol, flavors, flouride, formaldehyde, mineral oil, plastic (PVP), saccharin.

Formaldehyde, mineral oil, PVP, and saccharin are all classified as carcinogens or suspected carcinogen, as is flouride, which has been banned in many European countries and is the subject of concern with regard to thyroid problems. In fact, as of April 1997, toothpaste is required to carry poison control information on the label as even a small amount can harm or kill a small child.

In most cases, however, you won't find much information on the label. There are no requirements of manufacturers to actually disclose what is in a product, and there is no regulation or enforcement. All of it falls under proprietary trade secret legislation. The issues are as follows:

1. Many of the chemicals used have never been adequately tested for their negative health effect, and almost none have been tested in combination with other chemicals.
2. There are few regulatory agencies with any clout. The FDA oversees personal care products, but can only regulate once they are on the market. There is no review or approval process beforehand.
3. Safety testing is done by the manufacturer. Material Safety Data Sheets are written by the manufacturer. Labeling is done by the manufacturer - think they're going to list anything they don't have to?
4. A product that kills 50% of lab animals through ingestion or inhalation can still be designated "non-toxic."
5. Only recently has the government come out with guidelines for "biodegradable," but the majority of the products on the market today have never been tested.
