HUNTINGTON, N.Y., Aug. 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Contrary to popular belief, one of
the most hazardous pollutants affecting our health
and well-being is found indoors — in our homes, offices, and
other gathering places. The source: fragrances. Common
scents, organic and synthetic, are abundant and they are found in
everyday household products, laundry supplies, air fresheners,
and more. Further, fragrances are now known to compound
exponentially at a cost to our health.
Safe for people, pets, and the planet,
POOPH eliminates organic odors without the use of harsh chemicals
or fragrances.
In a study published by the National Library of
Medicine1, fragranced products were found to
trigger a range of adverse health effects--including migraine
headaches, contact dermatitis, asthma attacks, respiratory
difficulties, neurological and cognitive problems, gastrointestinal
problems, immune system problems, as well as cardiovascular and
musculoskeletal problems.
Additionally, the study revealed that fragranced products are
hindering access to society. For example, 17.5% of study
respondents were unable or reluctant to use public restrooms
because air fresheners, deodorizers, or scented products were in
use. Another 22.7% were prevented from going somewhere because
exposure to a fragranced product would make them sick. Finally,
20.2% of respondents would enter a business but then leave as
quickly as possible if they smell air fresheners or some fragranced
product. In fact, 15.1% actually lost workdays or a job due to
fragrance exposure.
Mounting consumer concerns have prompted some companies to
opt-out of scented product lines. Armed with new science and
technologies, one such company, POOPH® Inc., created a
product line that eliminates organic odors on-contact, without the
use of harsh chemicals or fragrances. Jane Pak, POOPH's CEO,
said, "Like many consumers today, we are concerned with the
cumulative effects resulting from exposure to too many fragrances.
That's why we created a line of safe-to-use products that eliminate
organic odors rather than mask them with a fragrance. Further,
POOPH® products are made from ingredients
generally regarded as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration."
"Right now," said POOPH's co-founder Jordan Stanley, "about twice as many people
prefer fragrance-free indoor environments – and that number is
growing." Citing study findings, Stanley shared that "53.2% of
study participants supported a fragrance-free policy in the
workplace compared with 19.7% that did not; 54.8% prefer
fragrance-free health care facilities and health care professionals
compared with 22.4% that did not; 59.2% prefer flying on an
airplane without scented air pumped into the passenger cabin
compared with 23.6% preferring scented air; and 55.5% prefer
staying in a fragrance-free hotel room, compared with 22.8% with
fragranced air. In short, Stanley noted "The consumer is voting for
a cleaner, safer quality of indoor air."
"For consumers who don't want another fragrance in their lives,"
continued Stanley, "POOPH® proved that you can
safely and effectively eliminate unwanted odors without adding any
fragrances at all." With over a decade of safe, proven commercial
use, POOPH® now offers a line of odor eliminating
household products including litter boxes, laundry, carpet,
furniture and upholstery and more. Their motto, says Stanley,
"Providing products that are pet, people, plant and planet friendly
for today and tomorrow."
