In reality there is a consequence for every compound we expose our selves to, from water, to monovalent cation variety (salt Na+ or K+ ) to food to cleaners to even perfume compounds. It is good to become cognizant of all of these various risks and make informed decisions as to how to live our lives. That doesn't make the risks from any one thing in the list above all that huge however. It just means that the risks are there.
Nice post, and very well researched.
Thanks. Yes that is the problem with modern society we are exposed to so many different chemicals. It is a balance of risk vs benefit. In the case of perfumed products there isn't really a huge benefit.
