The average households in the United States are cleaning with some dangerous stuff.

How dangerous? Just take a look at these statistics:

• Over 90% of poison exposures happen at home. 

• Common chlorine bleach is the #1 household chemical involved in poisoning. 

• Organic pollutants, found in many common cleaners and even air fresheners, are found at levels 2 to 5  times higher inside your home than out. 

• A person who spends 15 minutes cleaning scale off shower walls could inhale three times the “acute  one-hour exposure limit” for glycol ether-containing products set by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment. 

• Common cleaners give off fumes that can potentially increase the risk of kids developing asthma, the most common chronic childhood disease. 

• 1 in 13 school-aged children has asthma. Rates in children under five have increased more than 160% from 1980 – 1994.

• Children are highly vulnerable to chemical toxicants. Pound for pound of body weight, children drink more water, eat more food, and breathe more air than adults. The implication of this is that children will have substantially heavier exposures than adults to any toxicants that are present in water, food, or air.

FACT:  EPA studies indicate that elevated concentrations of household chemicals persist in the air.  Long-term exposure to chemicals inside our homes may be harmful to us and our families.
