Obsessed with Fabric Softeners & Dryer Sheets? These Harmful Chemicals May Make You Rethink Your Laundry Routine
In fabric softeners, chloroform is a solvent and aromatic agent. It’s a known carcinogenic neurotoxin and is on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Hazardous Waste list. The inhalation of chloroform fumes depresses the central nervous system. In high concentrations or with repeated exposure, chloroform may cause headaches, gastrointestinal problems, dizziness, drowsiness, irritation of the respiratory tract, and loss of consciousness. It also aggravates kidney, liver, heart, and skin disorders.
I wish they would outlaw these smelly things that the rest of us get to “enjoy” from our neighbors.
Makes me sick 🤢
