THREE CANCER CAUSERS AT HOME YOU NEED TO THROW AWAY IMMEDIATELY

1. ​Air fresheners

Many air fresheners have carcinogens, volatile organic compounds and toxins such as phthalate esters in their formulas. A Natural Resources Defense Council study of 13 common household air fresheners found that most of the surveyed products contain chemicals that can aggravate asthma and affect reproductive development.

2. Candles

According to a study by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, 40 percent of candles on the market contain lead wires inside their wicks. A candle with a lead-core wick releases five times the amount of lead considered hazardous for children and exceeds Environmental Protection Agency pollution standards for outdoor air, says the CPSC. Exposure to high amounts of lead may contribute to hormone disruption, behavioral problems, learning disabilities, and many other health problems.

3. Art supplies

Certain art supplies like Epoxy and rubber cement glues, acrylic paints and solvents, and permanent markers contain chemicals linked to allergies, organ damage, and cancer. Children are particularly vulnerable to toxins because of their higher metabolisms, and immature immune systems, so it pays off to exercise extra care with the products they use.
