Pollution can be one of the serious factors we should be worrying about nowadays and we can make all the possible steps to control it. That makes a greener world.

The exposure of children to poor air quality is serious business. Many health problems can be attributed to breathing unhealthy air. Asthma, behavioral problems, learning disabilities and other problems can arise from exposure to toxic air. Thank you for addressing a problem that concerns so many parents today. Unfortunately the problem seems to be getting worse rather than better. Thanks again for your insights.

I am a very health conscientious mama who lives in, of all places, a highly agricultural area. Around my home was sprayed a total of 9 times this last summer, including aerially. We are hoping to move soon because all the spraying is a nightmare. To try to counteract this, I use chemical free products for my family from Young Living. I also diffuse essential oils into the air in hopes of purifying the air and helping especially my children. You can learn more about this at http://shayla.younglivingcircle.com/What-are-Essential-Oils.php and about diffusing the oils at http://shayla.younglivingcircle.com/Diffusing.php .
They also have a page on children’s products at http://shayla.younglivingcircle.com/Kids.php . Hope this is helpful to someone out there!
