Canary Air Care

 Over 30% of the American population experiences negative health effects from fragrance in public spaces. Half of those, upon smelling fragrance, will walk out of the space without speaking to anyone. How many potential clients are you losing to hidden fragrances in your space? (Grenville, Kate, The Case Against Fragrance, pp 25-26) 

In air sprays and diffusers, yes, and it’s also quietly tucked into laundry products, body products, surface cleaners, hand and surface sanitizers, soaps, trash bags, wipes, even baby and pet products. While there is an abundance of fragrance-free products available, most of us have never learned to look for them. 

Canary Air Care can help.

 “Our AMA recognizes that some environmental exposures may have the potential to substantially limit major life activities of an individual with fragrance sensitivity and related disorders.  

“Our AMA encourages health care facilities, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations to adopt and promote fragrance-free policies that recommend individuals avoid or limit use of fragrances and support the use of fragrance-free products when feasible…” 

“Personal care products (e.g. colognes, perfumes, essential oils, scented skin and hair products) should not be applied at or near actual workstations, restrooms, or anywhere in CDC owned or leased buildings. In addition, CDC encourages employees to be as fragrance-free as possible when they arrive in the workplace.

“Fragrance is not appropriate for a professional work environment, and the use of some products with fragrance may be detrimental to the health of workers with chemical sensitivities, allergies, asthma, and chronic headaches/migraines. Employees should avoid using scented detergents and fabric softeners on clothes worn to the office. Many fragrance-free personal care and laundry products are easily available and provide safer alternatives.
