According to EWG the Febreze products score a D or an F. Air fresheners cause lung cancer, asthma and respiratory issues, skin allergies and irritation, development and reproductive toxicity.
Did you know that when the air spray was put to an air pollution test, it released 87 toxic ingredients?
USING AIR FRESHENERS IS LIKE SMOKING. AIR FRESHENERS CAUSE LUNG CANCER
Did you know that both tobacco and air freshener companies don’t disclose all ingredients they use in their products? In fact, there are over 600 ingredients that are used to make cigarettes. and over 3,000 chemicals used to make air fresheners. Scary! When you see the word “fragrance” as one of the ingredients, that means it’s a mixture of several dozen to several hundred chemicals.
Translation – Air fresheners contain the same dangerous ingredients that cigarettes,
There are eleven common ingredients from air fresheners and cigarettes. Seven of these chemicals cause cancer, 6 are toxic to your respiratory system, 2 are toxic to your reproductive system and 2 are toxic to your cardiovascular system.

DETOX YOUR BODY FROM THESE TOXIC SUBSTANCES
Air fresheners cause lung cancer and more that’s why you must detox. The most effective and inexpensive way to detox your body is to take spirulina. According to many recent scientific studies, spirulina helps support healthy detoxification of built up toxins from the body by binding to them. Thus, these toxins are carried out of the body through natural processes of elimination.
