You are completely right the household products that we buy at the stores are full of harmful chemicals. Research are finding out that many cancers and other illnesses are due to these products. I always thought we were protected that the goverment had laws that these products must have warning lables on them, but there is no law. They don't warn the public at all. The United States of America Federal Code of Regulations exempts manufacturers from full labeling of products if used for personal, family or household care. [USA FCR: Section 1910.1200C, Title 29, Section 1500.82 2Q1A]Environmental Protection Agency studies have shown that indoor air pollution can be 3 to 70 times higher than outdoors.
Almost 50% of all illness is due to poor indoor air quality [1989 State of Massachusetts Study]
According to the National Safety Council, more children under the age of 4 die of accidental household poisonings than are accidentally killed by guns at home
The EPA conducted a study that found that toxic chemicals in household cleaners are three times more likely to cause cancer than outdoor air pollution.
Of 2,983 chemicals analyzed that are found in personal care products:
884 are toxic 146 can cause tumors 218 can cause reproductive complications 778 cause acute toxicity 314 can cause biological mutations 376 can cause skin and eye irritations [Source: United States House of Representatives Report through NIOSH, 1989]
Ingestion only accounts for about 10% of household poisonings. 90% of poisoning happens through inhalation and skin absorption. Household bleaches which claim to disinfect are classified as pesticides under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. Inadvertently mixing bleach with other cleaners that contain ammonia produces a toxic chloramines gas. These toxic gases can cause coughing, loss of voice, a feeling of burning or suffocation, and even death. [Source: Guide to Hazardous Products Around the Home, Household Hazardous Waste Project, 1989] Formaldehyde is a highly toxic substance and one of the most common indoor air pollutants. It is a highly suspected cancer-causing agent. It is an irritant to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs and may cause a wide variety of reactions, including skin reactions, ear infections, headaches, depression, joint pain, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, vomiting, sleep disturbances, and many more. How many of these names would you have recognized as formaldehyde? Manufactures can legally use over 30 different trade names for this chemical. Below are some http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/da ... g02/080602/98f-0052-sup0014-vol5.txt and http://www.epa.gov/iaq/formalde.html for more info on formaldehyde)
