Dr. Anne Steinemann is an internationally recognized scientist with over 25 years experience helping others create healthier living and working environments.
And her latest research paper titled "Ten questions concerning air fresheners and indoor built environments" shares some startling findings.
Those findings?
Typically, less than 10% of ingredients in air fresheners are shared with consumers.
They release over 100 different chemicals into the air we breath.
Hazardous chemicals like formaldehyde, which studies have linked to cancer.
Even some air fresheners promising to be "all natural", "non-toxic", or "organic" do in fact contain toxic chemicals!
In another study, the Natural Resources Defense Council tested 14 different air fresheners currently available on the market.
12 contained phthalates, which have been found to cause hormonal problems, birth defects and damage the reproductive system.
Now, why isn't this bigger news?
For starters, air fresheners are a VERY big business.
By 2025, the global air freshener market is expected to grow to over $13 Billion.
So the more people who are educated and know about this research, the less profits major corporations stand to rake in.
The good news is, there's a safer, healthier alternative that's also better for the environment.
