Air Freshener Emissions Cause Toxic Health Effects

Do you use air freshener? Do you think it actually freshens your air? Well, from watching television commercials, you would think that they are made out of flowers and do freshen your air -- as if you had placed fresh cut flowers all around your house. However, most air freshener actually have the opposite effect and make your home's indoor air more polluted!

Our homes today already typically have very poor air quality due to many chemicals that are now found in our cleaning products, home building materials like paints, carpets and cabinets, and home furnishings like mattresses, couches and more. In fact, even if your air is typically polluted outside where you live, it's a good bet that the air inside your home is more polluted than it is outside. So do you really want to make your indoor air quality even worse with so-called air freshener??

Study Showed Mice Died From Exposure to Air freshener

Chemically sensitive people and people with asthma have long complained of bad health effects from breathing air freshener. But now a study has actually looked at the health effects of air freshener. Even with exposures of just one hour, at levels to which many people are actually exposed in their own homes, increased lung irritation as well as asthma-type symptoms and behavioral changes were seen. Some of the mice even died when they had to breathe in the air freshener fumes.

As another part of their study, the researchers added an air freshener to a freshly painted room, to see if it would actually make the air quality better, as many people assume. Instead, respiratory and behavioral symptoms increased, which only makes sense when you realize that the air freshener emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), like most paints do.

Air freshener Do NOT Freshen Your Air and Can Be Dangerous

In the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), the manufacturer actually recommends that you use a vapor respirator "if the vapor concentration is high due to heat." They readily admit that "breathing high concentrations of vapor in excess of the permitted exposure level may cause headache, nervousness, dizziness, tremors, fatigue, and nausea." There is no suggestion of the allowed exposure level, and no idea of how someone can avoid exceeding it. The conclusion after reading this study is that "air freshener", including solid sticks, oil-based and other plug-ins and sprays should NOT be used to cover up smells in your home, your school or your office. They are clearly just adding to the chemicals you have to breathe in and are causing adverse health reactions in many people.

Even if you don't have chemical sensitivities or asthma, you will be doing yourself and your family a favor to not use air freshener. Many people have remarked how when they stopped using air freshener and fragrances in their homes, perhaps for the sake of someone else, various health problems got better, like headaches, fatigue, insomnia and more.

NOTE: There is also some evidence that fragrances, including those from air freshener and laundry detergents, have an "addictive" quality. This may be why some people love the scents that are emitted from them. This does not change the toxicity of the chemicals used to make these scents, however, and it is really advisable that you stop using all synthetic fragrances.

Instead of using an air freshener, try just keeping your house clean and opening the windows often to get in some fresh air. If you still want to add some type of scent to your home, investigate using natural pot-pourri with natural organic essential oils instead of the synthetic, petro-chemical based fragrances.
