Dr. Weil's report on a recent medical research:
http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/WBL02222/Many-Scented-Cleaning-Products-Contain-Toxic-Chemicals.html
"They detected 133 chemicals in 25 popular products they analyzed, including laundry detergents, fabric softeners, dryer sheets, soaps, hand sanitizers, lotions, deodorants, shampoos and air fresheners...All the products emitted at least one chemical classified as toxic or hazardous,... and 11 of them emitted at least one chemical considered a probable carcinogen"
Dr. Weil's "Natural Household Cleaning Products" at
http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/ART00580/natural-household-cleaning-products.html
is useful.
The original research article is titled Fragranced consumer products: Chemicals emitted, ingredients unlisted, whose abstract says "For 'green' products, emissions of these compounds were not significantly different from the other products."
