6 cancer-causing items hiding in your home (slideshow)
5. Shower curtains
Most shower curtains are made from the notorious poly vinyl chloride (PVC). According to the EPA, PVC shower curtains emit toxic chemicals into the air, including dioxins, phthalates, vinyl chloride, ethylene dichloride, lead, cadmium and organotins. That explains why PVC is considered the most toxic type of plastic. And why it has been linked to cancer.
You may have other items lying around the house that are made from PVC, like purses, couches and even your flooring. But don’t worry. It’s easy to find PVC-free alternatives for all of these items. Just make sure you read the labels on everything you buy and do your research before buying new furniture or flooring. That way you’re not unwittingly filling your home with PVC.
