From Dr Anne Steinemann’s latest research
“Fragranced consumer products: exposures and effects from emissions”
“Basically, if it contained a fragrance, it posed problems for people”
“This is a huge problem; it’s an epidemic”
says Professor Steinemann.
She is especially concerned with involuntary exposure to fragranced products, or what she calls “secondhand scents.“
“Over 22% of Americans surveyed can’t go somewhere because exposure to a fragranced product would make them sick.”
“These findings have enormous implications for businesses, workplaces, care facilities, schools, homes, and other private and public places,” said Professor Steinemann. For instance, a growing number of lawsuits under the Americans with Disabilities Act concern involuntary and disabling exposure to fragranced products.”
