Let's Stop Poisoning Our Children
Household Chemicals... a catastrophe-in-waiting!
If you're an average family, living in a typical house, you might be surprised to know that your home contains more toxic chemicals that were found in a typical research chemist's laboratory at the beginning of last century. Your laundry, kitchen and bathroom house dozens of toxic products harmful to the health of your family. Until you study the chemical composition, the following products (to name just a few) might seem reasonably harmless:
- Window cleaner
- Bleach
- Laundry and dishwashing detergent
- Shampoo and conditioner
- Toothpaste & mouthwash
- Room deodoriser
- Cosmetics
Of chemicals commonly found in homes, 150 have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological abmormalities.
