BEWARE Fresh Scents detergents, air fresheners, oils and more may smell Oh so pretty but contain harmful toxics

According to Fox news last night many of your favorite laundry products, air fresheners, oils etc could be giving you more than just a pretty fresh scent. Studies have tested 6 products, which all of them came back positive for at least one very hazardous toxic chemical that may harm you. So now your probably thinking gosh what are these chemicals that were found? Some of the chemicals reported were Acetone, which we are all known for its effect in paint thinner also nail polish remover, Limonene, which is an hydrocarbon( Orange terpene), which are in most essential oils, especially the Citrus, Acetaldehyde, and also Chloromethane. Fox News said researchers tested many of the products by placing them into an isolated spot, where the temperature and air was then tested for the certain chemicals. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/905227/beware_fresh_scent_detergents_air_fresheners.html?cat=5
