Nothing screams Autumn more than the scent of apple cinnamon, pumpkin spice, nutmeg, clove and cider. If you love scented candles and pumpkin spice air fresheners, you're not alone. But do you know
what's in them?
"The air inside your home can actually be up to 5 times worse than the outside environment. In some cases, it’s 100 times more polluted and includes all houses no matter where they’re located (rural and city centers). If this comes as a shock to you, you’re not alone. The truth is that while outdoor pollutants like the burning of fossil fuels are easy to spot there are numerous indoor toxins that are invisible to the naked eye. Just because you don’t see pollution doesn’t mean it’s not there and harming your health. Another thing to keep in mind is that a majority of the population spends up to 90% of their time inside which makes poor indoor air quality a real threat to your well-being." (www.timetocleanse.com)
From Wikipedia: "Many air fresheners employ carcinogens,
volatile organic compounds and known toxins such as phthalate esters in their
formulas. A Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) study of 13 common
household air fresheners found that most of the surveyed products contain
chemicals that can aggravate asthma and affect reproductive development." (citation, Wikipedia.org)
Another good article: Toxic Chemicals in your Home (Business Insider). "While science is still learning about the effects of synthetic chemicals, the evidence suggests some of them can contribute to cancer, developmental defects, and reproductive issues."
