Reducing Harmful Chemicals In Your Home: A How-to Guide

toxic

Toxins seem to be everywhere in our society. The sheer number of mass-produced plastics, chemical pesticides used on fruits and vegetables, and processed materials means a lot of harmful substances can make it into your home if you aren’t careful. Some of the big ones include bisphenol A (better known as BPA), phthalates, and agricultural chemicals, all of which are also included in a family of chemicals known as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). These materials can interfere with hormone systems, causing developmental disorders, birth defects, and even cancerous tumors.
