Air Fresheners: The Dangers of Indoor Chemical Pollution (2014)

Authors: SilentMenace.com

Next to pharmaceuticals, nothing in recent years has been pushed harder upon us than the vast array of indoor chemical so-called air "fresheners" or room "deodorizers." These products include metered sprays, plug-ins, sticks, wicks, mists, aerosols, carpet cleaners, scented candles, incense and even scented stones.

In no way, shape or form does a chemically-scented fragrance and/or aerosols propelled by butane, propane or other toxins create an indoor environment of fresh air. These products do absolutely nothing to improve the quality of indoor air, and in fact, can contribute to a host of ailments.
