A STUDY ON CONSEQUENCE OF NON-USING GREEN PRODUCTS

SUBMITTED BYM.RAMKUMAR2ND SEM MBA

INTRODUCTION There was a time when people wouldn’t think twice

about using household cleaning products containing toxic ingredients and chemicals to wipe down toilets, kitchen counters and floors throughout their home, to do the laundry, wash dishes and more. If it made things sparkle, shine and smell lemony fresh it was effective, right? Not always. As we’ve seen, many of those products with unfamiliar chemicals sometimes have negative effects on our health.

GREEN PRODUCTS

The term is used to describe a product that meets one of these criteria.

1. It has qualities that will protect the environment.

2. It has replaced artificial ingredients with natural ingredients.

For example, a cleaning product may be considered green for two distinct reasons.

It may be manufactured without phosphates in order to reduce a source of pollution in the water supply, which makes it better for the environment than a cleaner that contains phosphates.

Or it may contain ingredients derived from natural sources to lower the risk of health problems that can be caused by exposing the skin to artificial dyes or fragrances.

There are no legal guidelines or strict definitions for use of the term, so it is subject to interpretation.

CONSEQUENCE OF NON-USING GREEN PRODUCTS Now a days most of the peoples using the

products like home cleaner, baby care and health related products are fully chemical that affect the human body and also our environment.

EXAMPLES OF GREEN PRODUCTS

REASONS FOR USING GREEN PRODUCTS Chemicals May be Unregulated :

Every time you use a cleaning product, you could be ingesting fumes from the chemicals. Did you know that since World War II, 85,000 new chemicals have entered the mainstream through various products and oftentimes those chemicals aren’t approved by the EPA? That’s a scary amount of chemicals, but what’s even more scary is upwards of 70 percent of typical cleaning products often found in your home contain these harmful agents.

Phthalates, Sodium Hydroxide & Ammonia — Oh My! You grew up recognizing products your mom used, so when

it came time for you to clean your own home, you instinctively remained brand loyal. But have you looked at the labels of cleaning products under your sink? Oftentimes a label will warn that a product can be harmful to people or pets so that could be a sign to ditch it. Also, experts say the average home has 62 toxic chemical lurking about you may not even be aware of. Some potentially harmful chemicals you want to watch out for include phtalates (in fragranced products), triclosan (in liquid dishwashing detergent), 2-Butoxyethanol (in multi-purpose cleaners) and even chlorine (in laundry whiteners and toilet bowl cleaners).

Keep Kids Safe(r)We can’t protect our kids from all the evil in the world, but we can limit their access to harmful chemicals. Using natural cleaning products will reduce the chance of an accidental poisoning. In fact, it’s shown that household cleaning products rank within the top 5 causes of childhood poisoning cases. So in addition to switching over to green cleaning products, be sure to keep the products stored in child-safe cabinets.  

You May Be Poisoning the Water Supply

Various household cleaning agents can contain toxic chemicals like ammonia, phosphorus, alkyphenol ethoxylates and petroleum. So when you wash your clothes, do the dishes and even flush toilet bowl cleaner you may be sending these chemicals back into the water system and nearby rivers, lakes and streams. This could make its way back into your water, but it can also have a negative impact on wildlife and the environment.

Breathe Deep. Breathe Clean.While they help make your clothes and rooms smell better, some fabric softeners and antibacterial spray cleaners contain quaternary ammonium compounds like benzalkonium chloride. These agents have been known to contribute to otherwise healthy people getting asthma. In fact, according to the Environmental Working Group’s Guide to Healthy Cleanin gabout 53 percent of cleaning products they tested contain ingredients that can harm the lungs while 22 percent can cause asthma.

Keep the Air CleanMany household products, especially sprays and aerosols, can contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can have short- and long-term health effects associated with your central nervous system, liver and kidneys. When you use a spray, the chemicals can linger in the air long after the initial mist dissipates.

CONCLUSION The green products are fully natural one that not

affect the environment. so today onwards we start to use the green products and protect our country. Our country become green country.
