EWG Healthy Home – The Chemicals in your home – Maryland United for Peace and Justice

EWG Healthy Hometown Guide

Dear Tony,

Have you ever paused to think about the chemicals and contaminants you are exposed to inside your home?

The air inside our homes is two to five times more polluted than the air outside. Chemical pollutants build up in our homes when they’re released from things like carpet and paint.

That’s why we created EWG’s Healthy Living: Home Guide to help you avoid health-harming chemicals at home. Our guide contains tips on more than 20 different categories to help you avoid products containing harmful chemicals and reduce your exposure to the chemicals already in our air and water.

Check out the resources below to learn more and get started creating a greener and healthier home:
