Chemical free cleaning products are becoming more and more popular and for good reason. Cleaning products containing chemicals have several negative effects, not least on the environment. Here are some of the primary ways these products have a negative impact on the environment, as well as on human health:
If cleaning products are not disposed of correctly, then soil can become contaminated. Any plants growing in this contaminated soil, as well as any soil dwelling organisms will then be affected thus potentially contaminating the food chain.
Chemical containing cleaning products that enter water systems through drains can be harmful to aquatic life.
Volatile organic compounds found in some cleaning products can evaporate into the air contributing to indoor air pollution and smog formation. This can result in respiratory issues as well as other health problems in some humans and animals.
Certain chemical ingredients in some cleaning products are toxic to wildlife and can disrupt endocrine systems and affect reproductive health, leading to population declines.
The production of chemical cleaning products involves the use of raw materials and involves high energy consumption which contributes to resource depletion.
Often cleaning products come in plastic packaging, contributing to the growing problem of plastic pollution.
With all this in mind, the need for switching to chemical free cleaning products is a must and there are lots of companies doing just that.
