Dangers of chemical air fresheners
NOTE: This page is to inform and educate the facts the big chemical companies do not want you to know. Please read this information carefully, I would bet your reaction is the same as thousands of people. (Shocked and Discussed) The chemical companies are interested in one thing only MONEY, they disregard the health risk to there employees and worse yet the general public that purchase the products.
All of the advertisements strive to make us feel that we do not have a really nice home unless "air fresheners" are supplied in all bathrooms, kitchens, and around the house generally to assure that we and our visitors are persuaded that ours is not just a clean home, but one with requisite elegant touches. There are two kinds - the spray type, with their un-recyclable aerosol cans or plastic packages, adding to unnecessary solid waste, and the wick type, that send out their fumes continuously.
These products do not, in fact, do anything to improve the quality of the air. Instead, they add a number of pollutants, some designed to deaden your sense of smell, others serving as propellants, and others adding various kinds of toxic perfume to drown out whatever smells may offend. Many of these ingredients cause irritation of the nose and lungs, leading to serious problems for many people. Many times, pesticides are even included - for what purpose?! Spray this around and solve all your odor problems?!
A prominent constituent of many of these products is formaldehyde. That can destroy your sense of smell alright, and is one of the worst offenders for respiratory irritation. It has also been admitted by the EPA to be a cause of cancer. Anyone with asthma, lung infections, or like ailments can be severely affected by formaldehyde.
The list of ingredients that may be found in these deodorants is given as follows taken from "Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products", by Gosselin, Smith and Hodge, 1984;

Several of these components are well-known carcinogens, and others have a wide range of immediate and long-term toxic effects on vital organs. What the total effect is of whatever mix occurs in a particular product is unknown, even to the producers. Several terms are too general to give us any idea of the actual contents. Enough are seriously toxic to give urgent warning against exposing your family, guests, or pets to the hazards.
In a recent sad case a firm hired to vacuum the heating ducts in a house finished off with a heavy spray of "freshener" into the air ducts. The families became very ill and have had to move to another home.
We need to realize that "clean" does not have a "scent"!! We have all been brainwashed to believe that "clean" means some kind of toxic fragrance - whether it be our air, clothes, or body. But "clean" really has a very "neutral" smell: non-offensive and non-toxic!
The No Odor Network has a safe, non-toxic and %99.8 permanent solution to all your indoor contaminate control needs.
