How to reduce exposure to chemicals
Since so many commercially available household products contain these chemicals, experts advise to
- Read labels and avoid products that say "fragrance"
- Opt for natural products and cleaning agents (such as lemon, baking soda, vinegar)
- Make sure your home is well ventilated
- Use a portable air purifier -- a good system needs many pounds of activated carbon plus HEPA air filters
