HAVE you noticed that when you walk into stores like Bed Bath and Beyond or Pier 1, the smell from their scented candles and potpourri is overwhelming?

Have you noticed that air fresheners, dryer sheets or heavily scented washing machine soap have a potent aroma?

Have you ever stopped to think what is in these products that cause strong fragrances?

The answer is that the odors are produced by a soup of chemicals, and some of these compounds may not be very good for you.
