Reply #67: That's sad [View All]

but still none of you are addressing the pollution we all breathe in every day because of cars, factories, coal plants... and don't even get me started on the indoor pollutions...

"Indoor air pollution often poses a greater health risk than outdoor air pollution," said Gilbert S. Omenn, chairman of the Commission and dean of the University of Washington’s School of Public Health and Community Medicine in Seattle. "Unregulated use of pesticides, cleaning chemicals, deodorants, and emissions from gas and wood stoves generate high concentrations of potentially toxic indoor air pollutants."

Worst Pollution Risks Moving Indoors

Not so sweet home: Toxins lurk in air, dust, even cleaning supplies

We clean with them. We build them into our walls and cabinets. We spray them on bugs, weeds and gardens.
We drag them into the house on our shoes and we stir them up when we walk on our carpets.
They're in our toys, our shower curtains, our clothes, the water bottles we use for hiking and the baby bottles we use for breast milk and formula. They're in the televisions we watch and some of the computers that entertain us.
More and more chemicals and unhealthy substances are embedded in our daily lives. And they swirl together inside our tightly built personal spaces to create new, and very personal, toxic hot spots: our homes.
Before even stepping outside in the morning, we are exposed to more severe pollution than we get from landfills, hazardous waste sites or smokestacks, say many scientists, including retired Environmental Protection Agency officials.
