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?

Many contain formaldehyde and benzene, both linked to serious health risks, including headaches, dizziness, seizures, and even hormone disruption.

what’s in your air freshener?

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

• Formaldehyde: A known carcinogen found in many commercial air fresheners

• 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.
