Guest guest Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Things I didn't know from my Monday morning newspaper: Vinyl shower curtains sold at major US retailers emit toxic chemicals that have been linked to serious health problems. . . the curtains contained high concentrations of chemicals that are linked to liver damage as well as damage to the central nervous, RESPIRATORY and reproductive systems. . . one curtain released as many as 108 volatile organic compounds into the air, some persisted for nearly a month.. .seven of these chemicals have been identified by EPA as hazardous air pollutants. (I hate to think that I was done in by my shower curtain.) The American Lung Association of Maine raised $1,300,00 for research and education on lung disease through its three day, 169 mile bicycle trek across Maine. It has raised $13,000,000 since its inception. (And I never knew of it.) Jack 79/UIP - IPF/06/05 Maine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I remember getting nauseated and headaches when I put new shower curtains in my home in Tampa when my children were small. The Three of them were hard on the liners so they were changer frequently.. interesting. Love and Prayers, PeggyIPF 2004, Florida"Worry looks around, Sorry looks back, Faith looks up."
