TOXIC HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS

Products containing chemicals or potentially dangerous
ingredients are used in almost every household. The chance of harm can be decreased by understanding how to use these goods.

Among them are:

Cans of aerosols (such as deodorant and hairspray), polish and remover for nails, furniture polishes and cleaning supplies, insecticides.

Automobile goods (such as motor oil or antifreeze), Other products (e.g., fluorescent light bulbs, mercury thermometers, and batteries) Products that catch fire (such as lighter fluid, propane tanks, kerosene and home heating oil), supplies for a workshop or paint job (such turpentine and paint thinners), Garden and lawn products (such as pesticides and herbicides)

HOW TO SAFELY HANDLE HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS

Store household chemicals only out of reach from children. If
you have kids in your house, make sure cabinets and storage
spaces are locked or childproof.

Products that contain
hazardous materials should always be kept in their original containers, and labels should never be removed unless the container is corroding.

Corroding containers need to be properly labelled and packed. Product storage should never take place in food containers.

Never combine trash or potentially dangerous household chemicals with other items. Certain substances, like ammonia and chlorine bleach, have the potential to react, ignite, or explode. Hairspray, paint, cleaning supplies, and insecticides should never be used close to an open flame. Eliminate any chemical spillage right away.

When the rags’ smells have dissipated outside, discard them by rolling them in newspaper and putting them in a plastic bag that has been sealed and thrown in the garbage.Be sure to properly dispose of hazardous
materials.
