Did you know your home is one of the worst sources of pollution? It’s hard to believe isn’t it, but all those nasty chemicals are being masked in pleasant smells. According to the Georgia Strait Alliance’s ToxicSmart program, chlorine is one of the worst offenders. Usually found in bleach, chlorine produces dioxins and organochlorines, which cause reproductive, endocrine and immune disorders. Another offender are phosphates, which are found in detergents, add nitrogen to the waterways when thrown out, which in turn diminishes oxygen needed for fish.
