Chlorine Bleach
ReplyDelete*Household Chlorine 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.
*designated as household hazardous waste by the EPA.
* is the chemical most frequently involved in household poisonings in the U.S.
*a strong corrosive with fumes that can irritate or burn the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. If ingested, bleach can cause pulmonary edema or vomiting. Extremely dangerous when mixed with ammonia, as the resulting fumes can be deadly.
*Potentially fatal if ingested
*Deadly fumes result from mixing ammonia with bleach (both found in many household products) creating lethal "mustard gas"!
What about the products you are using right now?
ReplyDelete* 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.
* Most laundry detergents contain Lye which is the #1 pollutant of our rivers, lakes and streams. It is also a carcinogen. (Norwex- laundry detergent).
* Some laundry detergents contain aluminum, which has been linked as a contributor to breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease. And others contain "processing aids" or Sodium sulfates which is a salt derived from Sulfuric acid. (Norwex- laundry detergent, drier balls).
* Most air fresheners work in one of two ways: they contain a nerve deadening agent which interferes with your ability to smell or they coat they coat your nasal passages with an indictable oil film. (Norwex- odor eliminator).
* Spot removers and carpet cleaners can contain perchloroethylene, which is a suspected carcinogen. (Norwex- carpet cleaner, enviro cloths).
* Disinfectants can contain Phenol and Cresol which have been linked to kidney and liver damage, diarrhea, fainting, hyperactivity and caustic burns. (norwex- enviro cloths, all purpose cloth, hand sanitizer, body pack, sanira system).
* Formaldehyde is one of the largest indoor pollutants in our homes. Symptoms caused by formaldehyde are allergies, cancer, immune system failings and asthma. It is found in antiperspirants, magic eraser, furniture polish and floor waxes. (Norwex- deodorant, micro pad, mop system, enviro cloths).
* Methylene chloride, the propellant used in many aerosol products, is a carcinogenic (Source: Cancer Prevention Coalition).
Unless a specific source was referenced, the majority of this information was taken from the book The Safe Shoppers Bible written by David Steinman and Samuel Epstein, M.D. or from the CBC news-Marketplace-if you can't pronounce it, should you use it?
IS YOUR HOME YOUR HAVEN?

YOUR TOXIC WASTLAND
Did You Know.....?
* The average home contains 150 toxic chemicals that have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological abnormalities (Source: Consumer Product Safety Commission).
* More that 72,000 synthetic chemicals have been produced since WWII.
Less Than 2% of these chemicals have been tested for toxicity, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects, or birth defects.
* In Canada, respiratory illness is now the leading cause of hospital admissions for children (Source: Dr. Gideon Korean, pediatrician at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto-CBC News Marketplace).
* 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. In one decade, there has been a 42% increase in asthma (29% for men: 82% for women) (Source: Center for Disease Control). .
* Indoor air is 3 to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air (Source-EPA Environmental Protection Agency).
* 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 rates have almost doubled since 1960.
* Cancer is the #1 cause of death in children age 6 and under.
* There has been a 26% increase in breast cancer since 1982. Breast cancer is the number one killer of women between the ages of 35 and 54. More than 85% of these cases are not genetically linked; they are a result of the environment we live in. Primary suspects are laundry detergents, household cleaners and pesticides. .
