Dozens of common household cleaning products contain hidden toxic chemicals linked to fertility disorders in lab animals, according to data gathered by a women’s research group. Jane Kay, Chronicle Environment Writer
A type of glycol ether is frequently found in popular cleaning products such as Windex Aerosol, Formula 409, Lemon Fresh Pine-Sol and Simple Green Purpose Cleaner, says the report released by Women’s Voices for the Earth, a Montana- based nonprofit working to eliminate or reduce toxic chemicals in the home.
It is difficult for consumers to know whether their favorite cleaner contains the chemical because manufacturers aren’t required to list it on the label. Neither the state nor the federal government regulates indoor air pollution, for instance how the cleaners degrade the air inside the home. People exposed to high levels of EGBE for several hours have reported nose and eye irritations, headaches and vomiting, metallic taste in the mouths and throats.
As a mom I can’t imagine some of the struggles experienced by women today that desire to have children. It’s more than I can bear to think of not having been blessed with my own four wonderful children and another on the way. Birth is sacred and it is something that every woman that desires it should experience. When reading this information the first thought that came to mind was the possible concerns we cause ourselves and our daughters when we use and allow them to use these harmful chemicals.
Many of us are just use to using harsh chemicals to clean it’s what we were taught. Mixing and using toxic products that are suppose to get the place really clean, right? Most of them are causing more damage than we can imagine to our family and to us.
There are truly healthier alternatives that work. You may not believe it but there are better products to clean your bathrooms and kitchens than the traditional ones you have used for years. I can show you how to covert your home to a safer healthier clean environment that can pass down generations!
