The Consumer Products Safety Commission states that chemicals
commonly found in the home have been linked to allergies, birth
defects, cancer and psychological abnormalities.
NATIONAL CANCER PREVENTION COALITION established the "DIRTY
DOZEN"...
(top 12 cancer causing agents found in the home).
Here are just a few of them....

Create a Safer and Healthy Home
KNOW YOUR A.B.C's.by Dr. Joyce M. Woods
Begin by thinking of your home as a toxic waste dump. The average
home today contains 62 toxic chemicals - more than a chemistry lab
at the turn of the century. More than 72,000 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. The majority of chemicals have never been tested
for long-term effects.
- An EPA survey concluded that indoor air was 3 to 70 times
more polluted than outdoor air.
- Another EPA study stated that the toxic chemicals in
household cleaners are 3 times more likely to cause cancer than
outdoor air.
- CMHC reports that houses today are so energy efficient that
"out-gassing" of chemicals has no where to go, so it builds up
inside the home.
- We spend 90% of our time indoors, and 65% of that time at
home. Moms, infants and the elderly spend 90% of their time in
the home.
- National Cancer Association released results of a 15-year
study concluding that women who work in the home are at a 54%
higher risk of developing cancer than women who work outside the
home.
- Cancer rates have almost doubled since 1960.
- Cancer is the Number ONE cause of death for children.
- 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.
- 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.
- Chemicals get into our body through inhalation, ingestion
and absorption. We breathe 10 to 20 thousand liters of air per
day.
- There are more than 3 million poisonings every year.
Household cleaners are the Number ONE cause of poisoning of
children.
- 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 are epidemic in schools today. Behavioral problems
have long been linked to exposure to toxic chemicals and molds.
- Chemical and environmental sensitivities are known to cause
all types of headaches.
- Labeling laws do not protect the consumer - they protect big
business. The New York Poison Control Center reports that 85% of
product warning labels were either inadequate or incorrect for
identifying a poison, and for first aid instructions.
- Formaldehyde, phenol, benzene, toluene, xylene are found in
common household cleaners, cosmetics, beverages, fabrics and
cigarette smoke. These chemicals are cancer causing and toxic to
the immune system.
- 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.
- 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.
- Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, lupus,
multiple sclerosis, circulatory disorders, Alzheimer's,
Parkinson's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, and
hormonal problems are diseases commonly related to chemical
exposure.
- Pesticides only have to include active ingredients on the
labels, even though the inert (inactive) ingredients may account
for 99%, many of which are toxic and poisons.
- The New York Poison Control Center reports that 85% of

immune and nervous systems.
