Household products are the second highest source of air pollution in the
Los Angeles area and contribute more to the Southern California's smog
problem than previously thought, according to estimates the South Coast
Air Quality Management District released last month as part of the plan
to cut smog in the region. Household products -- such as detergents,
hairspray, paint, cleaning compounds, cosmetics, antiperspirants, lawn
care products, perfume and rubbing alcohol -- emit 108 tons of
smog-forming fumes a day, according to the AQMD.

I'm doing my part. The only stuff I use on this list is lawn car products. Doesn't say much for my personal hygiene though.

I blame the illegal Mexican immigrants. If it wasn't for them and their cheap housekeepers, homes in LA wouldn't use so many household cleaners and solvents.
