indoor air pollution: Is ‘Home Sweet

Home’ hazardous to your health?

 
On the days you see a brown haze hanging over downtown, you  probably  don't mind staying inside. But is the air in your home any safer?   
Probably not.......  Indoor air, including the air in your home or apartment, can be even more polluted than the outdoor air of a big city.  
says that the air in the homes in urban and rural America is routinely 5 to 30 times as toxic as the outside air, and can be as much as 100 times as toxic. Consequently, the Agency (EPA) rates indoor air pollution among the top environmental health risks. 

Scientists have been studying the effects of the pollutants in our water, in the air, and in the disastrous cleaning products in our homes for decades. Their conclusion? "The combination of breathing the poisons and absorbing them through our skin from generation to generation has resulted in a catastrophic epidemic of health problems".

One scientist puts it this way...

"We are the only civilization in the history of the world that will willingly destroy itself"

Robert Hiatt is professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at University of California San Francisco (UCSF), director of Population Science, and deputy director of the UCSF Comprehensive Cancer Center. From 1998 to early 2003 he was the deputy director of the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences at the National Cancer Institute, where he oversaw cancer research in epidemiology and genetics, surveillance, and health services research.

Professor Hiatt  says:

"Children’s health is, to a large extent, a function of the environment in which they live. The more than 8,000 known genetic diseases and disabling conditions in industrialized world are all due to noninfectious environmental factors and gene-environment interactions." "All genetic diseases are caused by mutant genes, and all mutant genes are caused by environmental toxins."

During the past decade the study broadened from the caustic home cleaning products to include pollutants in personal hygiene products, Shampoos, Hair spray, Tooth paste, Deodorants, Cosmetics, Perfume, and in Skin Care products!  
 In  New York state... for example, the same deadly chemicals like you insist on having in your home have been banned by state statue from all State government buildings and all State educational institutes. Other states are following suit. Will it have to be a crime before you stop doing it?

 

Genetic Researcher Keith Wren asks...

How can anyone have confidence in the deadly grocery store personal care and home cleaning products sold to us that we can bring into our homes! <sorry, UNDER CONSTRUCTION here>
Right in your home environment, you breath their deadly gasses... you wear these chemicals in your clothes... you sleep in a bed that is laced with toxic chemicals from toxic laundry detergent that does not wash out of your clothes and bedding.  It does not even wash out of your washing machine. 
Yes, you sleep wrapped in them all night and wear it all day.  Warnings are coming from all over the industrialized world. This is a disaster. What is the most detrimental source for environmental toxins? Your home.
Just so you know...
What is the most detrimental source for environmental toxins? It's simple. People try all kinds of things to make it better for their family with no positive effect. Why not, not?  Because they keep doing the things that people have been taught to do for decades.  The shortages that came with World War II caused many changes.  These shortages brought about the birth of Chemical substitutes for a lot of things.  Back before these World War II chemicals everything was pretty much natural.  In today's world natural is the rage...
When they finally get the message and clean all the toxic personal care and home cleaning products out of their homes, regardless of their heath condition, they get better... It's a no-brainer."

Speaking of "no-brainer"...Just one of the copious disastrous things these deadly chemicals do is to adversely effect the development of all our vital organs. This, of course includes the human brain.

Consequently, the overwhelming majority of people that come to this web site will not have the ability to comprehend these facts. Will you? Will you be like the ostrich and keep looking to burry your head in the sand?

It's so simple...

Most of these disasters would be eliminated by some simple life changes...   If you live in the industrialized world there is no possibility that your life and your health have not already been adversely effected by these deadly chemicals in many ways. The same is true for all your family members, everyone you know, even all of your future generations...

The decision you can make today could be enormous! I invite you to change the direction of your life.
