Research suggests that certain chemicals in some household cleaning products may be hazardous to our health. Recent studies point to a link between certain chemicals in some cleaning products and asthma and reproductive harm. That means that children, pregnant women, women trying to get pregnant, and persons with asthma are especially vulnerable to these chemicals.

Did you know . . .

  • Women today are still doing over 70% of the housework in the average home.
  • The cleaning industry in the U.S. employs about 3.4 million cleaning workers. Of those, women comprise nearly 90% of maids and housekeeping cleaners.
  • Children are often more vulnerable to chemicals because their organs and immune systems are not yet fully developed, and certain chemicals may interfere with the development of their neurological, endocrine and immune systems.
  • Many household cleaners contain chemicals, some of which are toxic. These chemicals may cause short-term health problems like skin and eye irritation when you use them and they may have long-term health impacts as well.

Some chemicals in cleaning products have been linked to asthma, which is a growing chronic health problem. Several chemicals present in some household and industrial cleaning products have been identified as asthma triggers or are known to aggravate existing respiratory symptoms. Some chemicals in cleaning products have been linked to reproductive harm, which includes changes in sexual behavior, decreases in fertility, menstrual changes, changes in the onset of puberty, cancers of reproductive organs, miscarriage, premature birth and other effects. Many scientists now believe that chemical exposure, even at very low levels, can have adverse impacts on the reproductive system.

  • Learn more about the links between cleaning products and reproductive harm, or host your own Green Cleaning Party. Find out how on the Women's Voices for the Earth Website: WomenAndEnvironment.org
