Excerpt from:
Why Are You PoisoningYour Family?
By Kare Possict
"According to a 1989 report on indoor air Quality
submitted to Congress by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the
nation's worst pollution is found inside our home. Hazardous and toxic
chemical concentrations two to five times higher than outdoors are found
in the typical American home, regardless of whether it is located in rural
or industrial areas." Additionally, I discovered that "a scientific paper"
presented by a Vancouver consulting firm at the Indoor Air '90 conference
in Toronto reported that, "because of household cleaners, housewives have
a 55% higher risk of getting cancer than do women working outside the home." |
