Is your air freshener safe?
Posted on Oct 31st 2007 10:00AM by Bethany SandersWhen you spray that chemical air freshener in the air, do you take a deep breath of that clean, fresh smell? According to a post I recently read over at Green Daily, you're probably breathing in a lungful of dangerous chemicals as well. When the National Resources Defense Council tested 14 brands of air fresheners for chemicals called phthalates, 12 of the 14 came up positive. Phthalates may negatively affect hormones and reproductive development.
Don't think that just because it's on the grocery store shelf that it's safe. The FDA doesn't currently test air fresheners for safety. Instead of spraying chemicals throughout your home, try ventilating your house first, try to eliminate the source of the smell. Does anyone have a good recipe for a natural air freshener that doesn't harm indoor air quality?
