Air Freshener Toxicity
M any air fresheners claim to work by “trapping” odour
molecules, removing foul scents from your furniture and sports
gear. This is false – the odour is still present, your nose just
cannot perceive them because you’re smelling the chemical
product instead, which always has a scent.
Although the manufacturer of one popular air freshener
disclosed that their product only contained 3 ingredients,
research done by EWG (Environmental Working Group)
revealed the product had over 87 ingredients, many of them
known to cause allergies, respiratory
effects, immunotoxicity, reproductive
system toxicity and more. This toxicity
enters your endocrine system, storing
itself there for years to come.

Bottom line is, remove odours by
cleaning your home, opening windows
and doors, baking citrus peels or vanilla
bean and using more natural products
like baking soda, vinegar, and diluted
essential oils – save yourself the high
cost of buying toxic fresheners.•
