Among chemicals exhausted through the laundry vents are phthalates which can block androgens, or male hormones, and can interfere with normal genital development in boys. These toxic substances have been banned in Europe as reproductive toxins and because they can cause kidney and liver toxicity.
Wow! That makes me very happy. That’s a amazing.
I’m one of the sensitive ones, allergic to fragrances. When I tell people that they usually insist they didn’t put perfume on. But it’s not just perfume. It’s laundry soap, then dryer sheets, then scented deodorant, then scented lotion, then mouthwash, shampoo, conditioner and hair spray. That’s eight fragrances all competing before you even get to perfume.
I have trouble at work, at restaurants, at church, the theater, in airplanes, hair salons, hotels, even in my own yard when neighbors do their laundry. The doctors offices and hospitals went fragrance free a few years ago. That was nice. However my clinic shared a ventilation system with the big beauty salon next to them so it is pretty difficult to go there and had to switch doctors. My symptoms include a sore scratchy throat, an upset stomach, a lot of coughing, and a blazing headache. Not much fun.
Ok, I really doubt both, anyone is getting a big enough dose to be impacted by
dryer-scenting...............and enforcing this, nope, there will be none.

I don't know if they can enforce it. Glad Europe does at least. I get congestion that doesn't go away and can turn into a sinus infection. I also get bad headaches and dizziness from scented products. Long ago I actually used to think the scents came from nice things like flowers. No. They come from nasty chemicals that can damage you. It's very sickening to walk down the detergent aisle in the grocery store and I don't know why the manufacturers think they have to add these smelly chemicals to the cleaners. Some people even spray things or just spray into the air--on purpose! Spray smelly, toxic chemicals into the air=dumb. I feel sorry for pets and little kids who are forced to breathe this stuff because it's not only unpleasant but what else do these chemicals cause?

oh me too. My asthma starts acting up. Mens colognes and some womens perfume are the worst for me. Not only do they cause the asthma to flare up but they give me major migraines.
I wish they'd ban perfumes and smelly products everywhere. They did for cigarettes. They can do it for perfumes and scented products.
My doc occasionally uses Glade Plug in's and then tells me my lungs sound terrible. They were fine before I walked in her office.
My pet peeve is the Febreeze and other scents now being added to trash bags, while in the meantime, the bags are getting flimsier and flimsier and rip out at the drop of a hat. (Looking at you, Glad.) Do they think a scented bag is going to make me any happier when my trash has fallen through the bag onto the kitchen floor?
