Some Statistics Related to Harsh Chemical Exposure:

• In 2003, 90 percent of all reported poisonings in America, of which 60 percent were children, occurred at home due to household cleaners
  
  
• It has been suggested that once a child has been exposed to allergy-causing agents/organisms, such as dust-mites, that life-long allergies can develop.
  
  
• Asthma has increased by over 165 percent since 1980.
  
  
• Research has also found that women who worked in their home have a greater chance, as much as a 55 percent higher risk, of developing cancer and/or chronic respiratory disease than woman who work outside of the home.
  
  
• Household cleaners, cosmetics and paints contain so many toxic chemicals that this group now represents the second leading source of air pollution in some major metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles, AFTER car and truck exhaust emissions.
  
  
• There are an estimated 90,000+ chemical compounds in the USA today of which less than 1% have actually been tested by the government for carcinogenicity. Less than 12% have been tested for ANY kind human or environmental safety. Therefore, we have absolutely no idea how these various combinations of chemicals will affect our health and that of the planet, let alone as to their cancer causing influence.
