4. Shower Curtains

When it comes to shower curtains, PVC and vinyl have been popular for dozen years but there’s increasing evidence that show that one of these materials aren’t safe. Researchers found that PVC shower curtains can release up to 108 Volatile Organic Compounds, including 7 which are on the EPA’s list of hazardous air pollutants (6).
Every time you shower, you breathe in these compounds. Prolonged exposed is linked to damage of the liver, central nervous system, respiratory system, reproductive system, and can contribute to developmental damage.
Instead, buy organic cotton or hemp curtains and wash and iron them often to prevent mold.
