Hidden Toxins in the Home

For many people, the words "toxic" and "toxins" conjure up images of Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and Superfund sites. But a surprising number of the most harmful toxins ever created are found right in our own backyard, indeed in our very kitchens, bathrooms, and garages.

Our intent is not to scare you with portents of gloom and doom, but to empower you to create a clean and healthy home for you, your family and your pets. We hope you will find the information on this web site useful and encouraging.

You may find toxins almost anywhere in your home, but some of the important places to consider eliminating toxic substances are:
  • in your cleaning products
  • in fruits and vegetables and in water
  • in personal care products
  • in home furnishings

You'll also want to look at the toxins that could be encountered by children and pets.
