Subject: we’re elves poisoning ourselves with everyday products, until NOW because it’s known now Every day, millions of Americans clean their homes with products that release chemicals into the air ,lands and water. We scrub bathtubs with bleach and ammonia. We spray air fresheners. We pour chemical mixtures that are hazardous in any lab down our drains. We run oil diffusers which are fine if the air isn’t contaminated with chemicals we spray to clean that are biohazards; we the people are are messing with chemicals in are own household labs naturally and we are all unaware what we are doing wrong when mixing this chemical substances small and harmless? No; when you add up every household in America doing this every single day, the total amount of chemicals released is enormous. This is tracked with our current states of air quality control that is measured by our Government and some states are in a worser position ! Air travels ! The answer my friend is blowing in the wind the answer is blowing in the wind (which adds to ground) Think of it like this. One person dumping a cup of chemicals on the ground is small enough that we overlook it to overlook it is to not assume that every person on our street does it, and every person in CITIES ((we need to SIGHT this) we do it, and every person in the country does it, every day! Chemical spill happening continuously across the entire nation. It never stops. It never gets cleaned up. And no one is measuring it. Right now, the EPA only responds to big disasters, like a train derailment or a factory explosion. Unaware we do not track what happens when millions of people each release a little bit of chemicals every day. It’s detrimental slowly killing us people until now that we recognize it. I mixed eucalyptus oil and lemon juice in an air machine and breathed it. It damaged my lungs. I had no idea it was dangerous. I only found out after searching online. How many other people are doing the same thing right now without knowing? The solution is a new department inside the EPA that works directly with the Senate and product manufacturers. This department of environmental intelligence would treat chemical exposure as what it is: a slow, continuous biological chemical warfare against our own population. Its job using collective scientific data which identify chemical reactions of biological agents reactions, and transition the market to genuinely clean alternatives. The goal is simple: when a person buys a product at the store, they can trust it is safe to use as directed, without needing to be a scientist to protect their own lungs and this further protects the irritants from spreading in the air like an airborne viruses. This is not about banning products. It is about finally measuring what we are all breathing and flushing every day, so we can stop poisoning ourselves without even knowing it. Xoxoxo Thank you for your attention to this matter. We’re all in this together, and it matters all of us.!
