We,  New Yorkers, are a savvy bunch. We don't like to waste money and are not easily taken in by glib advertising.

Recently, we also became health conscious enough to realize that we have to look out for ourselves as far as what chemicals we are exposed to in our daily lives, as the industry does not seem to be doing a good job at protecting us from harmful effects of the most common household chemical materials we are so used to. Consider this disturbing information taken from a well-researched website, CHEM-TOX.COM:

"...chemicals are being found to cause accelerated aging to the brain, defense systems including the blood brain barrier and immune system as well as altering critical hormones necessary for teenage neurological and behavioral development. Illnesses identified in the medical research include adult and child cancers, numerous neurological disorders, immune system weakening, autoimmune disorders, asthma, allergies, infertility, miscarriage, and child behavior disorders including learning disabilities, mental retardation, hyperactivity ADHD (attention deficit disorders) as well as altering hormones essential for maintaining healthy bodily processes.

  

A growing number of scientists are providing strong evidence as to why we are seeing more and more children with learning and behavior disorders over the past 30 years. Their conclusions are straight forward - exposure of the developing child to even small levels of common everyday chemicals can result in learning or behavior problems evident throughout life. This information is a result of a 1997 Graduate Research Project from University of South Florida investigating environmental and "chemical" causes of Learning Disabilities."
