Stay away from these chemicals commonly found in home for good health of kids

Air freshners are used within indoor built environments such as workplaces, schools, housing, transportation, hotels, hospitals, care facilities and a range of private and public building.

These air freshners emit a fragrance to mask or cover the odors ,they do not remove the odor.Their ingredients are largely unknown.

The most common chemicals in fragrance mixtures are Terpenes (limonene,pinene ,etc ) and they are highly toxic.

When they react with ozone in the air they generate a range of secondary pollutant like Formaldehyde and ultra fine particles.

Ultra fine particles have been linked with heart and lung diseases and respiratory difficulties

We increase our risk when we combine products with fragrances such as cleaning products, hand sanitizers, deo, laundary products etc.
