We believe home should be the safest place in the whole world.
FACT: EPA studies indicate that elevated concentration of household chemicals persist in the air. Long-term exposure to chemicals inside our homes may be harmful to us and our families
REAL DIRT ON CLEAN 81,000 CHEMICALS REGISTERED WITH THE EPA IN THE LAST 30 YEARS, and fewer than 20% have been tested for toxicity!
FACT: 90% of all poison exposures occur at home
FACT: 218,316 reported poison exposures in 2005 were from household cleaning products
FACT: 90% of our time is spent indoors. EPA reports that air pollution is up to five times higher inside than outside
FACT: Indoor pollutants come from all sorts of chemicals we use to make our lives easier every day—paints, carpets, furniture, household cleaners, personal care, among others
FACT: Common household cleaners and appliances give off fumes, which can potentially increase the risk of children developing asthma

FACT: Some 20 million Americans have asthma
