- Perfume is a human allergen, one of the first five in the world. It seriously injures people, and both domestic and wild animals.
- One person out of three, when exposed to perfumed products, shows health problems: respiratory disorders, mucosal symptoms, skin problems, migraine headaches,
neurological problems, cognitive troubles, gastrointestinal problems, cardiovascular problems, immune system problems, musculoskeletal problems and other health problems.
- Twenty-seven percent of people affected by asthma get worse, if exposed to perfumed substances.
- Hormonal disorders from endocrine interferences and cancers are long-term risks.
“This is an epidemic”.
According to Professor Anne Steinemann, an internationally recognized scientist, a world expert on environmental pollutants, air quality, and health effects, " Fragranced products are creating
health problems - everyone is getting sick from these products", she said. "Some people have immediate, severe and disabling health effects. But the effect can be very subtle and insidious and
people may not realise they're being affected until it's too late."
