Asthma... Did You Know?Did You Know? That…Some 20 million Americans have asthma! That…An average of 1 out of every 13 school-aged children has this condition! That…Asthma rates in children under the age of five have increased more than 160% from 1980 – 1994! That…Common household cleaners and appliances give off fumes, which can potentially increase the risk of children developing asthma! Years ago we found out that there are household cleaning products available, that do not give off these harmful fumes & gases! It is a chronic respiratory condition whose close relation to allergies is characterized by difficulty breathing, frequent coughing, and a feeling of suffocation. An attack is often precipitated by physical or emotional stress, respiratory infections, air pollution, temperature or humidity changes, and exposure to fumes from a variety of sources, right in your home! Here are some common household cleaners that are designated as “household hazardous waste” by the EPA. Improper disposal of these wastes can pollute the environment and pose a threat to human health: Chlorine Bleach, Degreasers, Glass Cleaners, Oven Cleaners, Toilet Bowl Cleaners! Three toxic chemical ingredients can be found in many common household products. They can trigger an asthma attack or allergic reaction: Sodium Hydroxide, Hydrochloric Acid, & Butyl Cellosolve. These may be found in Dishwashing Liquids, Laundry Products, Oven Cleaners, Scouring Cleaners, Tub & Tile Cleaners, Toilet Bowl Cleaners, Odor Eliminators, All-purpose Cleaners, Cleaning wipes, Degreasers, Floor Polish, Rug Shampoos, & Window Cleaners. Wow, where don’t you find them? Inhalation of these chemicals can cause immediate irritation & tissue damage to the respiratory tract, contact can cause severe damage to the eyes, skin, mouth, & throat, even can cause liver & kidney damage. Do you really want to expose your family to these? Fortunately, we have found cleaning products that do not contain any harmful ingredients!
