Do you think you would be using your current personal care products on your children if you knew they contained harmful and hazardous chemicals? There are over 100,000 synthetic chemicals available on the market. They are in everything: from shampoo to hair dye, nail polish, moisturiser, hair spray, food, water, toys, over-the-counter and prescription drugs, cleaning products, clothing. We ingest, absorb and inhale these chemicals every day. They get into our bodies and end up in our bloodstream or get stored in our organs. The problem is, over half of these chemicals have never been tested for their toxicity on the human body. Many are carcinogens, suspected carcinogens, hormone disruptors, allergens and other harmful substances. Chemical Free Kids is one of the few resources for parents in the world to address the issue of chemicals and their impact on human health and specifically on children and young people: What are the toxic chemicals? How do they get into the body? What are the health and behavioural problems they cause? Why are children particularly exposed and susceptible to chemicals? Chemical Free Kids teaches parents and care givers how to protect their children from the toxins of the modern world. Essential reading.

Why use toxic and potentially harmful chemicals to control pests when chemical-free methods are equally effective – and much cheaper! This book contains everything you need to know to make pests unwelcome in your home – from ants, cockroaches, silverfish, slugs and snails, cane toads, rats, rabbits and foxes through to common household dust mites, bacteria, mildew and mould. Robin Stewart's Chemical-Free Pest Control introduces simple, effective and chemical-free alternatives – citronella oil, borax, soap, pyrethrum, vinegar, eucalyptus oil, bicarb soda, cloves and many more. Its household, pet care and garden procedures are extremely easy to follow, economical and environment-friendly. By treating pests yourself, rather than resorting to expensive professionals, you can decide what method or product is used and how much. Tips for a pesticide-free modern home include: • Moths cannot tolerate cloves, so scatter them in your wardrobe. • Cockroaches are repelled by Epsom salts; or killed by sprinkling borax powder in crevices, corners and dark places. • Head lice are readily eliminated using hair conditioner or mineral oil rather than toxic chemicals. • Ants are deterred with eucalyptus oil and killed with a bait made up of equal parts borax and jam. • Possums will stay away from your favourite plants if you sprinkle blood and bone around or spray with quassia.
