GET POISONS OUT OF PEOPLES HOMES

POOPHTM dismantles Odors

POOPH® provides safe, fragrance-free household products that eliminate odors on-contact without endangering pets, people, or the planet. We’ve even gone one step further by developing G-P.O.O.P.H.®, a foundation committed to “Getting the Poisons Out Of People’s Homes”.
In a study conducted on the exposures and effects of emissions, published by the National Library of Medicine1, fragranced products were associated with a range of adverse health effects--including migraine headaches, contact dermatitis, asthma attacks, respiratory difficulties, neurological and cognitive problems, gastrointestinal problems, immune system problems, as well as cardiovascular and musculoskeletal problems. Additionally, the study showed:

  • 98.3% of the population is exposed to fragranced products at least once a week
  • 72.6% were not aware that even so-called "natural", "green" and "organic" fragranced products typically emit hazardous air pollutants such as formaldehyde
  • 46.4% of respondents were not aware that a fragrance in a product is typically a chemical mixture of several dozen to several hundred chemicals
  • 64.6% were not aware that fragrance chemicals do not need to be fully disclosed on a product's label or material safety data sheet60% of the general population would not be using a fragranced product if they knew it emitted hazardous pollutant.

Consumers have had it with all the chemicals, fragrances and food additives they’re exposed to in the products they use every day—and now they are pushing government and manufacturers to take action, G-P.O.O.P.H. was established to support legislative and private sector initiatives to limit the public’s exposure to potentially dangerous fragrances and chemicals found in countless consumer products, so people know what’s really in the products they purchase.
