The State
of California notes that five
types of phthalates — including one that we found in
air freshener products — are «known to cause birth defects or reproductive harm.»
Some other very important actions to take are reducing the amount
of scented candles,
air fresheners, and fragrances in cleaners, never heating up foods in plastic containers or placing hot foods in them, not using weed killers or insecticides in or around your home, avoiding dark hair dye, and having a very serious conversation with your doctor about any hormonal
type of birth control.
