For those of you that use air fresheners, did you know they are toxic?

Air fresheners can work by using a nerve-deadening chemical that interferes with our sense of smell or by coating nasal passage with an oily film, and include chemicals like formadehyde, naphthalene, xylene, butane gas, cresol, ethanol and phenol. Solid deodorizers include the pesticide paradichlorobenzene; Aerosol air fresheners release chemicals as tiny particles which can be inhaled deeply into lungs and transferred into the blood stream. Plug in air fresheners break chemicals into even smaller particles and produce VOC%26#039;s.





These are all classified as carcinogens and/or neurotoxins. Have you ever inspected your home for similar toxins?

For those of you that use air fresheners, did you know they are toxic?
Yeah, it%26#039;s true. Fortunately, in order to get this effect, you have to ingest the stuff repeatedly over a few years, or apply the liquid (not spray) directly to the mucosa repeatedly for several years. Thing is, ingesting it in these quantities would kill you in less than a day, and if you dripped this stuff into your nasal passages, the effect would be so unpleasant as to rendering the mentioned %26quot;daily use for several years%26quot; pretty much impossible...


Yeah, stick the stuff in an asthma inhaler, take 4x a day. Sure you get cancer. But the significant phrase here is


%26quot;Air fresheners CAN work by using a nerve-deadening...%26quot;


Not works... CAN work. Which means there is no proof that this is how it works. When one sees this stuff, it%26#039;s probably a hoax.


I bet you got this in an e-mail.

Reply:I am sorry but what was your question again?
Reply:Yes I have heard that, what are the repercussions of it all is what i would like to know!
Reply:Yes, yes I did. Also-did you know that MOST deodorants cause breast cancer? Breast cancer is at an all time high, why? The toxic deodorant enters the body through the sweat glands in the pits (even faster if you have razorburn) and then starts attacking the first lymph nodes it finds, which surprise surprise-there are plenty of near the armpit area. Then it just travels on through there! Wear organic deodorant or none at all! Shop at the natural/health section or a co-op.
