NRDC recently tested 14 different air fresheners and found that 12 contained chemicals called phthalates (pronounced thal-ates), chemicals that can cause hormonal abnormalities, birth defects and reproductive problems. Even "all-natural" ones!

I agree...as we consumers march around our houses spraying these fresheners so that our houses may smell good, I've often wondered what it's doing to US. To me, it was only time before someone came out with details of a study. Next....what about perfumes?
