It is no secret that our air is polluted, certain foods contain pesticides and that a large amount of plastics end up in the oceans and eventually inside of many marine animals.
We often hear about how waste and pollution harms nature, but how exactly does that affect you?
The Dangers of Indoor Air
We may think that our homes are sealed from the dangers of outside pollution, but in fact you could still be damaging your health by spending too much time indoors.
In fact, the air inside of our homes are filled with numerous toxic chemicals. More precisely, there are 3 chemicals that are particularly dangerous: flame retardants, phthalates and PFAs.
These three groups of chemicals are present all over our homes and have the potential of disrupting our hormone or endocrine systems.
Flame retardants have the potential of hindering children’s development, phthalates can damage fertility and PFAS can influence pregnancy.
