Synthetic air fresheners were once considered a great idea or givin no thought at all, well think again.

The Environmental Impact Assessment Review journal says that most fragranced products for the home emit a number of toxic chemicals into the air, deteriorating your indoor air quality and endangering your health.

Most regulations  do not require manufacturers to label their fragranced products with a list of ingredients, so it is often difficult for consumers to make informed choices.

The report recommends that consumers avoid synthetic air fresheners. Below are some great all-natural alternatives:

• Opening the window : Let the outside in.
• Baking soda :   Put baking soda in enclosed areas like the closet or the fridge.
• Citrus air fresheners :   Place a few slices of lemon, grapefruit or orange in a pot with enough water to cover and let simmer with the lid open.
• Nature :   Aloe Vera and Chrysanthemum absorb a number of indoor air toxins
