Fragrance: Myths and Facts
The Truth About Pthalates
FMA responds to the NRDC citizen's petition to the EPA and CPSC regarding air fresheners
Posted November 8, 2007
On September 19, 2007 the Natural Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club, Alliance for Healthy Homes, and National Center for Healthy Housing submitted a citizen's petition requesting that the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) undertake specific actions to assess fully the risk to the public from exposure to air fresheners and to take reasonable steps to reduce that risk. The NRDC also published a report on phthalates in air fresheners, "Masking the Danger: Toxic Chemicals in Air Fresheners." NRDC's independent testing found phthalates in 86 percent of air freshener products. The report contends that there is little toxicity data available on many of the chemicals found in air fresheners.
FMA has strongly urged the EPA to deny the Citizen Petition. To read FMA's submission to the EPA click here
