Formaldehyde: causes irritation of the eyes and mucous membranes; inhalation may cause headaches, a burning sensation in the throat, and difficulty breathing, as well as triggering or aggravating asthma symptoms.

Phthalates: cause damage to the liver, kidneys, lungs, and developing testes.

Petroleum Distillates: cause irritation of eyes, nose, throat; dizziness, drowsiness; headache; nausea; dry cracked skin; chemical pneumonitis (from aspiration of liquid).

Para dichlorobenzene (also called 1,4-Dichlorobenzene, p-DCB, etc.): causes dizziness, headaches, and liver problems.

Propellants (usually Butane, Isobutene or Propane): inhaling butane can cause drowsiness, narcosis, asphyxia, cardiac arrhythmia and frostbite, which can result in instant death from asphyxiation, acute toxicity and ventricular fibrillation.

Most of these ingredients have been shown to cause cancer in humans.

• Air fresheners also affect mothers - - those who use them daily suffer nearly 10% more headaches.

• Women who live in homes with daily air freshener use have a 26% increased risk of depression.

• Homes where air fresheners are used regularly also have a higher rate of occupants inflicted with asthma, allergies, and cancers.

Currently 75% of American households turn to air fresheners when they encounter odors in their homes.

Most air fresheners last 30 days, but the containers they come in can last 1000’s of years.

In America alone, this produces over 4 billion used/empty air freshener containers in our landfills per year.
