Keeping your kids safe in the world is a big job, but keeping them safe inside your home should be simple, right? Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case. Toxins and allergens inside the home are a huge health issue for kids, and figuring out where the problems are can be confusing. That’s why this simple infographic is such a treat — it offers a quick visual way to understand four of the biggest sources of trouble inside your home. The graphic makes it easy to identify toxins and to find healthier alternatives.
Hard plastics, for instance, often contain BPA, which can cause serious health issues including brain and behavior problems. Parents don’t always know how to identify the plastics that can cause harm, but this graphic tells you exactly what to watch for and which plastics are considered a safer alternative. It also offers a clear list of ingredients to be wary of in your household cleaners and suggests ingredients you can keep on hand to mix up your own healthy cleaning solutions instead. For healthy indoor air, replace your HVAC filters and make sure to keep your heating and cooling systems in tip-top shape. Teach your kids how to wash their hands properly to prevent illness, and avoid hand cleaners with antibacterial ingredients or fragrances for better health.
If you’ve been confused by conflicting advice about household chemicals, you’ll really appreciate this simple and straightforward approach to creating a safer, healthier home for your children.
