An Interesting Read for All Concerned Parents

Posted Jan 21 2010 5:34pm

Do you know a child with asthma or a woman fighting breast cancer? Do you know a young, healthy woman who has had trouble conceiving or who has had a child with a birth defect? If so, please read this report from http://saferchemicals.org/ .

In “The Health Case for Reforming the Toxic Substances Control Act: Executive Summary”, saferchemicals.org outlines, in a quick and easy-to-read format, the instances of chronic diseases that are on the rise as well as the potential health benefits of reforming the Toxic Substances Control Act. Please take a moment to read this important information. Since the TSCA hasn’t been updated since 1976, it is the stance of saferchemicals.org that our children aren’t being adequately protected from today’s toxic overload.

In the last couple of years, I have become much more aware of the chemicals present in our daily lives and have taken steps to reduce the exposure of my children. For instance, I use safer alternatives for household cleaning and am trying to avoid chemical additives in food. I also use fragrance-free and dye-free  items whenever possible. It’s not easy, but I’m reading more labels and becoming more aware of what I’m purchasing, and I know there is much more I could be doing.

Tell me, what are you doing in your home to reduce your family’s exposure to chemicals? What do you think of the report by saferchemicals.org?
