Daily Chemical pollution by the Room

Disclaimer – this may seem obvious to the majority but its surprising the number of people who weren’t aware of some of the points made below.

My chemical pollution concerns in Daily Shower & personal care routine:

Skin is our biggest organ; alot of surface area through which we can absorb these potential chemicals
exposure via multiple fronts: deodorant, shower gels, antibacterial soaps, shaving cream, hair mousse, toothpaste, cologne, body creams
for the Ladies – add hair dyeing, manicures, cosmetics and makeup to the above list!

chemical concoction present lubricants and condoms that go on your very private parts

My chemical pollution concern in Any room:

My chemical pollution concern in the kitchen:

the non-stick coating via non-degrading teflon
endocrine mimicking BPA lined food containers
triclosan containing ‘anti-bacterial’ soaps
Tap Water – with all the pharmaceutical drugs, pesticides entering the water tablet, should I be boiling my water?

My chemical pollution concerns about my wardrobe:

Esp for baby’s, alot of US based clothing requires fire retardant which most retailers achieve via fire retardant chemicals, which have been shown to be carcinogenic.
These regulations were put in place when people were falling asleep in bed while smoking in bed.
Times have changed, yet people are still exposing their young ones unknowingly to these harmful substances.
Wrinkle-free = use of formaldehyde, another known carcinogen
