Pesticides and Home Exposures

Pesticides are everywhere and their impact on children's health is a growing concern. Toxic chemicals found in pesticides are linked to cancer, learning disabilities, asthma, and more. Reducing or eliminating pesticide exposures in your home protects you and your family's health while supporting the environment.

About Safer Choice
Finding cleaning and other products that are safer for you, your family, and the environment should be easy — that's why The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed the Safer Choice label. Everyone plays a role in protecting our families’ health and the environment. Products with the Safer Choice label help consumers and commercial buyers identify products with safer chemical ingredients, without sacrificing quality or performance.

About 1,900 products currently qualify to carry the Safer Choice label. Safer Choice-certified products are available for use in homes and in facilities like schools, hotels, offices, and sports venues.
