Sobering information

This article by Dr. Joyce M. Woods is all over the web. It is one that I've seen passed around by many of the people I work with. It does has some interesting and sobering statistics:

• An EPA survey concluded that indoor air was 3 to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air.


• Another EPA study stated that the toxic chemicals in household cleaners are 3 times more likely to cause cancer than outdoor air.


• National Cancer Association released results of a 15-year study concluding that women who work in the home are at a 54% higher risk of developing cancer than women who work outside the home.


• Cancer rates have almost doubled since 1960.


• Cancer is the Number ONE cause of death in children.


• There has been a 26% increase in breast cancer since 1982. Breast cancer is the Number ONE killer of women between the ages of 35 and 54. Primary suspects are laundry detergents, household cleaners and pesticides.

There's lots more in the article - you can read the complete list of findings by Dr. Woods here.
