Sure that's fairly known about, right? I mean, really, there are some stuff that we know is hazardous like bleach and Windex. Well, my husband found this article that was really interesting about how some odd household items that may seem so harmless can actually make our hormones go a little crazy. Like I said, some things I already knew, but there are others I didn't....
The first one mentioned is receipts. Seriously, I never thought anything of them. Usually I just throw them away or put them in our green can. However, there are many times where I'll hold on to them in my purse or even sitting around on my desk or next to my bed on a table.
Dust is another one. Sure, I know many people are allergic and a lot of sneezing can happen when cleaning and what not. Apparently there's a fire retardant that is hazardous and can cling to the dust. Many fabrics have fire retardants these days for kids clothes and furniture's like couches and beds. For obvious reasons, right? Personally I know I don't always get under the beds and couch every time I vacuum. Makes me wonder what kind of dust bunnies are collecting under there! Yeah, I'll be taking more time to get under those places...
I guess those were the only two that I wasn't really aware of. Others that were in the article were cleaning products, BPA in cans, pesticides on fruits and veggies, non-stick pans, and animal products. Looks like I'm not doing so bad!
Here is a link to the article: http://bit.ly/1aLx18K It has more information as far as the chemicals and what not.
Happy Thursday!
