Of all the products used in cleaning, the use of “clean-smelling” air fresheners seems to pose little or no risk. But the “fresh” scent of air fresheners may cover up not only undesirable odours, but a potential health threat as well. Chemicals called phthalates (pronounced thal-ates) which can be present in air fresheners are known to cause hormonal abnormalities, birth defects, and reproductive problems. Individuals whose line of work puts them into frequent contact with these chemicals are at a greater risk of developing long term health problems simply by the nature of their occupation, for example, janitorial and cleaning staff.

The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)an international non-profit environmental organization, conducted an independent testing on fourteen commonly used air fresheners. They found phthalates in 86 percent (12 of 14) of air freshener products tested, including those sold as “all-natural” or “unscented”. It was noted that none of the products tested listed phthalates on their labels. The NRDC recommends that government regulators should follow up by doing more thorough tests on these products and enact basic measures to limit exposure to these chemicals, in the interest of public health. Meanwhile, it may be sensible to avoid exposure to air fresheners. Especially, avoid using air fresheners in places where pregnant women or children are known to frequent.

Bad odours are generally undesirable in any indoor facility. Odours do not cause toxicological effects by themsleves. But they may increase the reporting of symptoms (for example, headache, nausea, eye and throat irritation).

Sadly, the increased popularity of air fresheners has quickly surpassed awareness of the potential health concerns from exposure to the toxic chemicals they may contain. Nearly all phthalates are known to interfere with production of the male hormone, testosterone. They have also been associated with reproductive abnormalities. Various animal studies have linked prenatal exposure to certain phthalates with decreases in testosterone, malformations of the genitalia, and reduced sperm production. Human studies have also shown that phthalates have been connected with changes in hormone levels, poor semen quality, and changes in genital development. Five phthalates-which includes one found in air freshener products-are posted by the State of California as chemicals “known to cause birth defects or reproductive harm.” Phthalate exposure in a building environment has also been associated with allergic symptoms and asthma. Because there are no labelling requirements, even so called “natural” products can contain toxic chemicals. It seems virtually impossible for the common person to know which products may pose a risk.

While the spotlight here is on the presence of phthalates in air fresheners, it is worthwhile mentioning that researchers have detected other chemicals of concern to human health in these products also. The European Consumers’ Organisation, BEUC (Bureau Europen des Consommateurs), commissioned a study in January 2005 to analyse the chemical substances present in indoor air following the use of air fresheners (including incense, natural products, scented candles, aerosols, gels, liquid and electric diffusers. The BEUC research found volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in these air freshener products at high levels. It was concluded that VOCs significantly contributed to indoor air pollution. Specifically, the European study discovered cancer-causing chemicals such as formaldehyde and benzene in some air fresheners. Benzene has been shown to cause leukemia in humans. Formaldehyde has been linked to a variety of cancers of the upper airways. Most of these products also contained allergens (like as limonene). Susceptible people with allergies to these ingredients could have adverse reactions, which includes rashes or even asthma attacks, from exposure to air freshener products.

Air fresheners are rarely necessary simply because they cannot substitute for good ventilation. The best solution is to open windows to bring in fresh air or to use fans to maintain proper air circulation. Air fresheners also are not the solution to poor air quality; they mask bad odours, however they very almost never eliminate their cause.

Avoid using air fresheners if possible, but when necessary, use products with the lowest levels of phthalates to limit exposure to these toxic chemicals, or use products that are certified by organizations such as Environment Canada’s Environmental Choice Eco Logo or the United States’ Green Seal Programs as being an environmentally responsible product.

Until manufacturers are legislated to fully disclose all ingredients on product labels, just remember this. Each and every time you inhale fumes expelled by air fresheners, the risk of developing a health problem far outweighs any perceived benefit of using the product.

Let’s face it, when it comes to learning how to speak Spanish, your best bet is to go to a Spanish speaking country and live there for 6 months to a year. Why ? Well, mainly because you will stay motivated to use the skills you learn. You will need to use them on a daily basis to get by. And you will progress much faster if you speak to real people. The words will stick and you will get more confidence in your overall abilities. However, it is not always practical for many people to live in a Spanish speaking country for 6 months. So an alternative is to use learn to speak Spanish software. This article will give a general overview of typical products or a learn to speak Spanish software review.

So what is the reason for learning Spanish Well, in the US, Spanish is effectively the second language. More people that view Spanish as their mother tongue are settling in the US than any other demographic. So speaking Spanish is a growth industry. Opportunities for people fluent in Spanish will open up as this trend looks to continue.

Motivation is software is often achieved with elaborate games that help you learn certain skills without even knowing that you are learning. Well that’s the aim anyhow. The more addictive the game the better the learning.

The second method that software uses to motivate a student is to keep a score. More specifically, it measures the progress of the student and gives them targets to aim for. If someone can see or be told that they are making progress they are more likely to keep on studying. It can also give tests that give the student feedback on how they are doing.

With the right program, learning to speak Spanish software can make the potentially dull process of learning a new language fun and easier than you may think. Speak Spanish software can prepare you for the true purpose of learning a second language ??” to speak to people. This could be for a vacation, for business or because you have Spanish speaking friends.

Thinking about hiring a house cleaner? To some it may seem like a total luxury, but to others it can be a survival strategy.

People hire someone to clean their homes for many reasons. With many people putting long hours into their careers, there’s tendency for their little time off being consumed with chores. To create a better work life balance, many opt to hire having their homes cleaned in order to truly have free time when they are home.

Others hire help because of other issues such as health challenges or they simply do not have the time in their busy schedules. Many elderly also hire help especially with larger more strenuous tasks.

There’s a couple of suggestions when deciding what’s best for your situation. Do you want to hire a cleaning company, or an individual who has their own business? There are advantages and disadvantages to both.

The advantages to hiring a cleaning company is if you are not happy with the work, you have recourse in complaining to a supervisor. They many times also have extra training for their employees. The negatives can be that sometimes they are more expensive in that they have more overhead they have to cover, and if you find someone you like, you may not get them the next time.

On the other side, sole propriety owners that do their own cleaning can be a great option too. It’s their reputation on the line so they usually work hard to keep that good reputation that is priceless, and to keep their customers are satisfied. Find out if they are bonded and insured. If they are not, you have to decide if that’s a chance your willing to take or not.

When you interview your potential person here are some sample questions to ask. What are their rates? What does this include? Do they supply the cleaning products, or do you? Ask for references and check them out. Do they clean while you are home or away?

It’s very helpful for them if you have an idea of what you’d like, such as which tasks, how often and any of your expectations.

Many people are surprised once they research that it may be very affordable to them. Perhaps it means giving up a few lattes, but that might be a price you’re very willing to pay in order to gain more free time. Alot of people who hire house cleaners find it worth every cent!
