How Common are Chemicals and Fragrances at Home?

"A popular shampoo for women has twenty-two chemicals plus fragrance. Another brand contains as many as forty ingredients. The male version has somewhat fewer ingredients, plus fragrance. The typical bar soap has as many as eighteen ingredients plus fragrance. The fragrances in bar soap and shampoo become volatile (airborne), which means we inhale them in the shower. The effect is enhanced by the chloroform and smell of chlorine that comes from the warm water tap."
