Did
you know that the majority of America’s 120,000 schools are cleaned
with products that can cause cancer, reproductive disorders, headaches,
asthma, and even learning disabilities? Yes
it’s true, our schools could cause impaired learning! One out of three
cleaning products contain dangerous chemicals and it’s not just
students who suffer, but teaching and maintenance staff as well. An
estimated 6 out of every 100 janitors experience injuries related to
chemicals in cleaning products. Alternative products are widely
available at no additional cost, so it’s just a matter of making the
switch. The state of NY already has! SOURCE: New American Dream, Issue no. 34, Winter 05/06
