including those marketed as green alternatives could be dangerous to your health and include toxic chemicals that companies are not required to list on the label that's according to a new report out from women's voices for the earth a national nonprofit research organization the report is called dirty secrets what's hiding in your cleaning products and find that hidden chemicals in laundry detergents air fresheners and disinfectant sprays are linked to cancer birth defects and pregnancy complications from heart were joined by the author of the report alexandra scranton she's director of science and research at women's voices for the earth and she joins us by phone from pullman washington welcomed at the time and training this report is based on blood testing on the twenty top household cleaning products first ones you find in the twentieth opening in the lab only wanted to find out was whether companies hire reviewing some of their ingredients online play only when inelegant is there anything they aren't telling you when you wanted but it finished product that it looks for a number of different contact the chemical and we were shocked to find a number of things that are simply not being revealed that the label is not on the med diet pills very heavily found out that way now is the chemical that are linked to reproductive and neurological development problems we have been in the glade air can't have everything in simple greens natural multiservice care of all purpose cleaner neater chemicals that might give both of these actually have said that they're not there not using chemicals that are not included in the product can be found them anyway so this covers even the so-called green products and alternatives that help for people who are concerned about the first place you immediately look it up a couple different product that the limited popular product that people use and look at some of the fragrance free option to type free " when the fragrance free lines only limited identical civil drain whatever type felt as being biodegradable and good and healthy for you and founded the numerous toxic chemicals in this product that really shouldn't be there you mentioned wanting to look at what companies are disclosing now in for voluntary disclosure to consumers without cleaning products are not required to list ingredients on the label why not and what covers that right now and it admitted that private people your average while the cleaning fluid and ingredient lists on the label there is no lot and that requires that the day and in recent years customers had been demanding more information about the product before getting more sophisticated and more concerned about chemicals are being exposed to so companies have started voluntarily disclosing ingredients online but we don't think this voluntary voluntary effort is even a clearly there is no hiding a number of chemicals in their product i'm pretty good including i in their fragrances though the lift was fragrant but that could be in the hundred hundred different chemicals that are hiding their right to report points out that he is a consumer is looking at the ingredients only sees the actual word fragrance that i could could be composed of dozens of these hundreds chemicals cleanup and one look at where howard there are numerous out and fragrances anyone is no walk down the aisle of the cleaning product managers restoring a kind of overwhelmed with the fragrance and can get headaches from time did either very common chemicals in indian fragrances and we think that customers deserve to know what they are related if no other being exposed to the big figure out what they need to avoid sex now still not comprehensive as far as the products and what's in there now there is legislation that has been proposed was introduced last week known as the cleaning product right to know act like introduced by democrat steve israel of new york what would this do and nbc this is a step in the direction going in the right direction and we really appreciate the sales effort along the line it is very simple billet that require manufacturers of helpful institutional cleaning products to list all their ingredients on the product label this would include fragrance ingredients include diet preservative and it would look into the content common contaminants that are often found on the product ingredients will all have to be listed using my name and chemical for more than one name we don't want companies have hiding a e-mail popular chemical that people are concerned about the using a different name for the all have to use the same name and anything you want to protect you have established trade secret protection for some other ingredients which you give is something that sometimes they have to do what we understand that they do have to go through a substantial profit with the consumer product safety commission to establish why the people ingredient needs to have trade protection and after they should not have chemical ) they can't treat the painting is known to be hazardous as in scranton is the director of science and research on women's voices for the girl she's also the author of a new report dirty secrets what's hiding in your cleaning products and thank you so much for your time thank you the project and you
