Common sources of poisoning
Bleach and other household cleaners are a common source of poisoning. Breathing the fumes or ingesting the contents can cause severe health consequences. Keep children away from such products, and use them only in well-ventilated areas. For large projects, take breaks on a regular basis and step outside for fresh air. For those with children and/or pets, you may want to use eco-friendly cleaners such as Simple Green, which are not toxic. PHIL SKINNER / pskinner@ajc.com
