Guide To Less Toxic Products
By: Environmental Health Association of Nova Scotia
Everyday, most North Americans use beauty and cleaning products which contain hazardous ingredients. How can you find the products which are least toxic, among thousands of products on store shelves?
The objective of this site is to:
- Provide information about potential health risks of commonly used products.
- Help identify less toxic alternatives for personal care, household cleaning, care, and household pest control.
- Provide information to help you evaluate products not in this Guide in order to choose the safest ones for your needs.
"Chemicals have replaced bacteria and viruses as the main threat to health. There we are beginning to see as the major causes of death in the latter part of (the 19th into the 21st century are diseases of chemical origin."
Dr. Dick Irwin, Toxicologist, Texas A&M University
