Questions remain about the relevance and thus usefulness of animal testing for human health effects. Some claims may only apply to the finished product, while disregarding many of the testing done for the raw material used. As always, consumers need to be careful about what to believe when it comes to product labels and claims. Many products used around the house including household cleaners, paints and thinners, lawn and garden products, and automotive products contain a myriad of toxic chemicals, which can be unsafe to manufacture, use, and dispose. Over time, constant exposure to small amounts of the chemicals can cause chemical sensitivity, weakening the body immune system, and resulting in a variety of health problems which may include asthma, rashes, and persistent sneezing, coughing, and headaches.
Many people throw away left over toxic household.
If these products end up at landfills, they will likely seep into the ground contaminating groundwater. Pouring them down the drain is just as harmful. Buy only what is necessary, and whenever possible, use alternative non-toxic methods. Rub with fine steel wool pad. Seal openings where bugs enter.
