Could
you be poisoning yourself and your family (pets, etc.),
unknowingly?
Are
Dangers Lurking in Your Household Cleaners? Everything is "Cause
and Effect"!
Did you know….
More children under four die of accidental poisonings at home
than are accidentally killed with guns at home. The average
home today contains more chemicals than were found in a typical
chemistry lab at the turn of the century.
Go into your kitchen and your bathroom and
look under your sinks where you keep your cleaning and personal
care supplies. What have you found? Window cleaner?
Bleach? Dishwashing detergent? Shampoo? Toothpaste? If you read
the label on toothpaste, it says not to swallow the paste!
These products can be violent lethal poisons with the potential to
kill or seriously injure your child.
Most dishwashing detergents include naphta,
which is a central nervous system depressant, diethanolamine, a
possible liver poison, and chlorophenylphenol, a metabolic
stimulant that is considered a toxic substance.
Of all chemicals commonly found in homes,
150 have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer and
psychological abnormalities. We have a higher rate of kids with
cancer and learning disabilities than ever. If that doesn't say
we're doing something wrong in our environment, I'd hate to see
what it takes! According to the American Cancer Society, there has
been a 26 percent increase in cancer over the last 2 decades!
You should also be concerned about the air
that you and your children breathe. Cleaning products and some
personal care products release toxic vapors into the air when they
are used and even when they are stored. Children may be
particularly vulnerable to chemical fumes. They inhale more air
per pound of body weight than adults, and because pollutants are
generally heavier than air and collect closer to the floor, small
children breath greater concentrations than do grown ups.
Most of us are concerned about the
environment, but isn't the environment within our own homes the
most important? If the home care and personal care products we are
using are toxic and harmful, we are hurting ourselves, our
families and the environment.
Indoor air pollution is a suspected culprit
in sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). In 1983, our research team
at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, pioneered early
research on SIDS & Endorphins. SIDS is higher in the winter
because of decreased ventilation!
15 Points to consider:
-
The average home today contains 62
toxic chemicals - more than a chemistry lab at the turn of the century.
-
More than 72,000 synthetic chemicals
have been produced since WW II.
-
Less than 2% of synthetic chemicals
have been tested for toxicity, mutagenic, carcinogenic, or birth defects.
-
An EPA survey concluded that indoor air
was 3 to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air.
-
Another EPA study stated that the toxic
chemicals in household cleaners are 3 times more likely to cause
cancer than outdoor air.
-
CMHC reports that houses today are so
energy efficient that "outgassing" of chemicals has no where to
go, so it builds up inside the home.
-
We spend 90% of our time indoor, and
65% of our time at home. Moms, infants and the elderly spend 90%
of their time in the home.
-
National Cancer Association released
results of a 15 year study concluding that women who work in the
home are at a 54% higher risk of developing cancer than women
who work outside the home.
-
Cancer is the Number ONE cause of death for children.
-
Cancer is the Number ONE killer of
women between the ages of 35 and 54.
-
There has been a call from the
U.S./Canadian Commission to ban bleach in North America. Bleach
is being linked to the rising rates of breast cancer in women,
reproductive problems in men and learning and behavioral
problems in children.
-
There are more than 3 million
poisonings every year. Household cleaners are the Number ONE
cause of poisoning of children.
-
Since 1980, asthma has increased by
600%. The Canadian Lung Association and the Asthma Society of
Canada identify common household cleaners and cosmetics as triggers.
-
Formaldehyde, phenol, benzene, toluene,
xylene are found in common household cleaners, cosmetics,
beverages, fabrics and cigarette smoke. These chemicals are
cancer causing and toxic to the immune system.
-
There are 4700 chemicals in tobacco smoke.
It's important to say that household
cleaning and personal care products aren't the only source of
chemicals in your home, but they are the easiest ones to replace!
