Here is a story that was in our local paper yesterday that I found interesting:
Study Finds Link Between Lungs, Urinal Deoderant
Those deoderant blocks hung in workplace bathrooms may do more than mask odors. They may harm people's lungs.
Researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences found people with elevated levels of 1,4 dichlorobenzene, once common to such air fresheners, were more likely to have impaired lung functions.
A trade group said companies that produce urinal blocks already are abandoning 1,4 dichlorobenzene. "To a large extent it's irrelevant to today's products," the group said, with one exception being some air fresheners hung from rear view mirrors.
The NIEHS says the chemical also can be present in some mothball products.
Looks like I'm holding my breath the next time I need to use a public restroom
