Many household products contain toxic chemicals; unfortunately, manufacturers are not always responsible about keeping them off grocery store shelves or displaying warning labels on the packaging. Solvents, pesticides, and even cleaning solutions contain ingredients that can lead to fatal poisoning.

Benzene is a chemical ingredient often used in pesticides, glue, paints, and dry cleaning solutions as well as other common household products. Long-term exposure to benzene can lead to several fatal illnesses, including leukemia.

PVC is a common plastic used for home construction, plumbing, and medical equipment. Several dangerous byproducts are created in the production of PVC, the most serious of which is dioxin, a known carcinogenic substance. Exposure to dioxin can lead to birth defects, a weakened immune system, and several types of brain and lung cancers.

Those who work in a manufacturing or industrial setting may be exposed to toxic chemicals if the employer does not follow proper safety guidelines or provide safety equipment to its employees.
