Begin by thinking of your home as a toxic waste dump. The average home today contains 1500 toxic chemicals — more than a chemistry lab at the turn of the century. More than 81,000 synthetic chemicals have been produced since WW II. Less than 2% of synthetic chemicals have been tested for toxicity, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects, or birth defects. Only a small percentage of these chemicals have been tested for long-term effects or human toxicity. There are over 150 known carcinogenic chemicals.
We're living in a "Toxic Brew" and we're "drowning in a sea of chemicals."
"We are conducting a vast toxicologic experiment in our society, in which our children and our children's children are the experimental subject."
Dr. Herbert Needleman, Pediatrician and Professor, Univ of Pittsburgh Medical Center
In the work place, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) must accompany any product used. The work place and the outdoors are considered "legal environments" while the air inside homes is not. So regulations for outdoor air pollution and toxins in the workplace are much more strict than in the home.
Health Affects of Chemical Exposure Chemical exposure presents a real danger to you and your family's health and well-being. Cancer rates have almost doubled since 1960.
Cancer is the Number ONE cause of death for children. Many of these chemicals affect the respiratory and immune system. From the Healthy Child Organization (HC Org) 2007:
Cancer has increased 25% from 1975-1998
# of Children in Special Education Programs increased 191% from 1977-1994
Childhood Asthma rates have increased 100% between 1980-1995
According to Dr. Alan Greene, M.D., attending physician at the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford University Medical School, an average of 200 industrial chemicals have been found in the chord blood of babies just after birth. These chemicals ARE floating in the blood of our babies BEFORE birth from what the mother is exposed to. According to the Health Child organization, of the over 80,000 chemicals registered for use in products we use every day, most didn't exist until 10 years ago. Think again if you think the government is keeping track. There is NO pre-market safety testing required under any federal law for chemicals used in products like cosmetics, toys, or construction materials. Of the 15,000 most commonly used chemicals, more than 80% have never been tested for health effects on children. None have been tested for health effects when they interact with one another. (HC Org 2007)
In 2004, researchers from two independent labortories examined the umbilical chord blood of babies from around the country. 287 chemicals were discovered present in the blood babies depended upon for food and survival Of these, 180 are known to cause cancer in humans and animals; 217 chemicals found known to cause brain and nervous system damage; 208 chemicals found know to cause birth defects and abnormal development tests on animals. (Environmental Working Group, Body Burden, 2005)
There has been a 26% increase in breast cancer since 1982. Breast cancer is the Number ONE killer of women between the ages of 35 and 54. Primary suspects are laundry detergents, household cleaners and pesticides.
Women who stay or work at home have a 54% higher death rate from cancer than women who work outside the home. This is believed due mostly to exposure to toxins in common household cleaners.*
Since 1980, asthma has increased by 600%. The Canadian Lung Association and the Asthma Society of Canada identify common household cleaners and cosmetics as triggers.
ADD/ADHD is epidemic in schools today. Behavioral problems have long been linked to exposure to toxic chemicals and molds.
Chemicals are attracted to, and stored in fatty tissue. The brain is a prime target for these destructive organics because of its high fat content and very rich blood supply.
Chemical and environmental sensitivities are known to cause all types of headaches.
Diseases commonly related to chemical exposure are: Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, circulatory disorders, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, and hormonal problems.
The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health has found more than 2500 chemicals in cosmetics that are toxic, cause tumors, reproductive complications, biological mutations and skin and eye irritations.
Chemicals in Household Products – There are more than 3 million poisonings every year. Household cleaners are the Number ONE cause of poisoning of children. The top three culprits according to Poison Control: Household cleaners, bleach and medications.
FORMALDEHYDE is one of the largest indoor pollutants in our homes. It damages the neurological connectors. It "hides" under many trade names. Symptoms caused by formaldehyde are allergies, cancer, immune system failings, and asthma. Products containing Formaldehyde include: antiperspirants, mouthwash, toothpaste, Tupperware, permanent press clothing, floor waxes, furniture polishes, baggies, coffee, laundry spray starch, cosmetics, dry cleaning solvents, perfumes, wax paper, paper money, and drugs.
PHENOLS are a major indoor pollutant. Phenols are absorbed by lungs, and skin. Symptoms include caustic burns, kidney and liver damage and hyperactivity. Products containing Phenols include: acne medications, baking powder, computers, TV sets, mouthwash, sugar substitutes, and wallpaper.
TRUSTED BRANDS
Do you think major brand products are safe? If it's on the store shelf, doesn't it make it safe? WRONG! Lysol© is even more dangerous than we thought. It contains phenols and dioxin (Agent Orange).
BLEACH must be safe because people have been using it for years, right? WRONG! When using bleach, antiseptics or chlorine in industrial areas, OSHA requires you to wear impervious protective clothing, hard hats, boots, gloves, apron or coveralls, chemical goggles or full face shield and use only in well ventilated areas. There has been a call from the U.S. / Canadian Commission to ban bleach in North America. Bleach is being linked to the rising rates of breast cancer in women, reproductive problems in men and learning and behavioral problems in children.
NTAs were banned in 1970. Lobbying by Proctor & Gamble in 1980 put them back into home products although they are extremely cancer causing. What are they for? ONLY to make more suds in detergents to make you think your clothes are getting cleaner.
In the USA the #1 cause of accidental poisoning is Dawn Dishwashing Detergent©. WHY? Because it is the #1 seller. Tide contains Lye and is the #1 polluter. It is also the #1 seller. Deep Woods and Off contain an ingredient called DEET. DEET causes seizures in children and adults.
