Ok, so I go to my nieces' house because her young [under 10] daughter is in Children's Hospital on 6L of oxygen [O2 levels fluctuating from 80+ to 90%], for the past two days suffering with panic attacks from dyspnea AND asthma AND pneumonia, and find my sister cleaning the bathroom with toxic cleaners... Yes products with the 'B' word.
FYI: Asthma rates in children under the age of five have increased more than 160%. An average of one out of every 13 school-aged children has asthma. These are alarming statistics. Wake up people, these toxic cleaners are hurting us.
FYI: Over 90% of poison exposures happen at home. Common bleach is the #1 household chemical involved in poisoning. Organic pollutants, found in many common cleaners and even air fresheners, are 2 to 5 times higher inside the home than out.
A person who spends 15 minutes cleaning scale off shower walls could inhale three times the “acute one-hour exposure limit” for glycol ether-containing products set by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.
And it's such a shame, but you really only need two or three cleaners to do all the jobs in the kitchen and bathroom...Shaklee Basic H2 and Basic G Germicide.
Children are highly vulnerable to chemical toxicants. They drink more water, eat more food, and breathe more air, pound for pound, than adults. The concern here is that children will have a much heavier exposure than adults to any toxins that are present in our water, our food or our air.
What are you and your children breathing???
