According to a study of New York schools, 71 percent of school nurses indicated that they knew students whose learning or health were affected by indoor environmental pollutants, including cleaning products, while 70 percent indicated that they knew staff who were affected.

Many of the cleaning products used are washed down the drain and eventually find their way into our drinking water, lakes, and streams, adversely affecting plant and animal life and further threatening public health. Chemicals used in cleaning products are responsible for about eight percent of total non-vehicular emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can cause respiratory problems, contribute to smog formation, and inhibit plant growth.

From the school building to the home environment, the problem with indoor pollution continues and access to hazardous cleaning products is a serious problem. When it comes to children and cleaning products around the home, the statistics are unsettling.More than 2 million poisonings are reported each year to the 61 Poison Control Centers (PCCs) across the United States alone. More than 90 percent of these poisonings occur in the home. The majority of non-fatal poisonings occur in children younger than six years old. And, poisonings are one of the leading causes of death among adults.

It's important that we buy and use cleaning products that are non-toxic, environmentally friendly, child and pet safe. The more we reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals from our home, office, automobiles and schools the more we help improve our quality of health and prevent unnecessary poisoning and deaths from exposure to these hazardous cleaning chemicals.
