The Canary Report has reported that the CDC has issued a new indoor air quality policy in all of its offices across the country. The Canary Report links to the entire 13-page document, but guess what it includes? The chemicals allowed for "housekeeping," standards for paint and furniture, and fragrances in the workplace! Fragrances covers room deoderizers, perfumes, lotions, etc. A very interesting read. If the CDC is covering these items in their policies what is that saying? This is great!
Did you know that these chemical sensitivities are covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)? You can read about that on The Canary Report as well.
Also in the news, Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families has information about some landmark legislation to decrease toxic chemicals like mercury, formaldehyde and a few others in our environment. They have a take action section asking the EPA to take a strong stance on the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). To read up on the campaign, check here.
