The Environmental Working Group provides in depth information about cleaning products, chemicals in other consumer products, cosmetics, and more:

Cleaning products don’t need to be loaded with artificial fragrances and toxic chemicals to be effective. Antibacterial chemicals such as triclosan do not make products work better (Aiello, 2007). Because people spend up to 90% of their time inside, keeping indoor air and surfaces free of harmful chemicals should be a priority. The most effective cleaning products are multi-purpose, simple, and non-toxic. Regular soap, baking soda, vinegar, and straightforward products such as Bon Ami can clean almost anything in your home without adding unneeded and harmful chemicals.


At EWG, their team of scientists, engineers, policy experts, lawyers and computer programmers pores over government data, legal documents, scientific studies and they expose threats to your health and the environment, and to find solutions. Their research brings to light unsettling facts that you have a right to know.

Pollution is not only an "environmental" issue, it's a public health issue. Learn about the health effects of toxic chemicals that we absorb through our water, food and the products that we use.
