DANGERS OF USING HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS WITH CHLORINE by Patty Avey

Whenever chlorine is used, organochlorides are formed which are forerunners to dioxins, a deadly class of compounds that cause toxic health effects. A new EPA draft report on the dangers of dioxins warns for the first time that even trace amounts can cause serious health problems including birth defects, genetic mutations, threats to the immune and reproductive systems, damage to the liver, kidneys and skin and even cancer.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

- Read labels on cleaning supplies and look for those which contain chlorine.

HEALTHY TIPS

- Avoid using cleaners which contain chlorine.

- Find safer, more natural and environmentally responsible products to clean your home.

- Never mix bleach with acids such as vinegar, ammonia, toilet bow cleaners, drain cleaners or chlorinated scouring powder as it produces deadly chloramines gas which may result in the burning of mucous membranes and chemical pneumonia.
