AIR FRESHENERS are AIR POLLUTANTS
For years I have noticed my body's quick reaction to perfumes and "Air Fresheners": headaches, sneazing, scratchy eyes . . . 
I always thought I was "allergic." I failed to realize that everyone is. This is becuase these substances are made of TOXIC CHEMICALS that have an adverse effect on all of us, including our furry little friends, whether we realize it or not.
I came across this very informative article today in my "Google-ing" that discribes how air fresheners kill our ability to smell using nerve-deadening chemicals, coating our nasal passages with an oily film. These "Air fresheners" are polluting our homes with carcinogens and hormone disruptors.  
Here is the link to the article it's a must read!
