"Chemicals that give a product fragrance — whether that product is an
all-purpose cleaner, a scented candle, an air freshener, or hair spray —
have lately been worrying some consumer-health researchers. A 2020
review in Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health summarized some of the latest
findings.
“As background, most of our exposure to pollutants occurs indoors,”
writes Anne Steinemann, PhD, author of that review and a professor at
the University of Melbourne in Australia. “A primary source of indoor
air pollutants is fragranced consumer products, such as air fresheners
and cleaning supplies.”
Steinemann is an expert in product emissions and environmental health,
and has authored or co-authored dozens of studies on these topics. Her
review catalogs a long list of health harms associated with fragrance
chemicals, among which migraine headaches, breathing problems, and skin
reactions are most common."
