Go to your cupboard right now and pick a cleaner, any cleaner. Does it contain sodium hydroxide, phenol, ammonia or formaldehyde? These ingredients and more are toxic!


FACT: Over 90% of poison exposures happen at home.


FACT: Common bleach is the #1 household chemical involved in poisoning.


FACT: Ingredients in many common household cleaners, laundry and dishwashing detergents, glass and tile cleaners, air fresheners, furniture polish, carpet shampoo have been linked to a number of serious health disorders.


FACT: A recent study found kids exposed to chemicals found in everyday household cleaners have a two to three times increased risk of having asthma.


FACT: Children and pets 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: The average American uses 40 pounds of toxic household cleaning products each year. These cleaning products contain dangerous ingredients, including neurotoxins, carcinogens, allergens, central nervous system depressants, heavy metals, and other agents that cause or contribute to cancer, respiratory problems, reproductive abnormalities, allergic reactions, and behavioral problems.


FACT: The EPA designates toilet cleaners, tub and tile cleaners, oven cleaners, and bleach as hazardous waste.


FACT: More than 32 million pounds of household cleaning products are poured down the drain each day nationwide. The toxic substances found in many of these are not
adequately removed by sewage treatment plants.


Guess what happens when these toxic chemicals are returned to the rivers and tributaries from which our cities draw their drinking water.
