Are air fresheners making you sick?

Good morning,

Did you know that your air freshener could be filling your home with over 100 toxic chemicals?

Even products labeled "natural" or "green" often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which pollute indoor air and trigger health issues.

  • Phthalates: Linked to hormone disruption and respiratory issues

  • Benzene: Associated with dizziness, fatigue, and immune suppression

One study even found that participants experienced fainting and seizures after exposure to certain air fresheners.
