Do Toxic Chemicals Permeate Milk Cartons
I have noticed that certain small grocery stores in our area tend to have a very heavy cleaner/deodorant smell. We popped into one this evening for a quick carton of milk, and when I got in the car I realized that the carton had the odor of the store - and the odor even transferred to my hand after I carried it to the car. Is it possible that the chemicals permeated the milk carton and contaminated the milk, or are paper milk cartons sealed well enough to prevent that?
Does Ecos Air Purifying Paint Make Toxic Chemicals Stick to Walls?
I have used many ECOS paint and varnish products, but I've never used their "air purifying" products, and I just had a thought about them. They have trade-secret "inert minerals" that "trap" various harmful toxins and "transform each wall in your home into a massive indoor air filter." This sounds good until you realize that this means THE HARMFUL TOXINS NEVER LEAVE.
Worried about Toxic Chemicals in Furniture
We recently ordered a lot of new furniture from Ashley Furniture store (bought in CA, made in China) and I am nervous about all the chemicals that may be in my air. We got a dining room table and hutch, and kitchen table that have a chemical smell. I did order a test kit from ACS and I am going Safe seal the wood furniture. However, what can I do to protect myself from the chemical exposure from the sofa’s and loveseats? My husband and I have a 4 year old and we’re currently “trying” to have a baby. Any advice would be appreciated.
