Please fill out this survey on the Eco Living Guide

The products we use volatize and thus become a part of our air - indoor and outdoor.

We all need to breathe. For some people, exposure to harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can result in disability and lack of accessibility to spaces, and this includes people who experience Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), other disabilities, and health conditions that depend on healthy indoor air for access to daily living.

MCS is a recognized disability and health condition triggered through sensitization to chemicals; further exposure to these chemicals leads to multiple symptoms in multiple body systems, leading to a lack of accessibility due to barriers in the built environment's air quality. These barriers can include VOCs from scents, perfumes, colognes, and other chemicals released from cleaning and laundry products. The prevalence of MCS is increasing in Canada, with 3.5% or more than 1.1 million people diagnosed with this disability (Statistics Canada, 2020). 

The Environmental Health Association of Québec created the Eco Living Guide to help you choose fragrance-free, lowest-emission and least-toxic products that are friendly to health and the environment.

We appreciate you taking this survey and encourage you to share it with your social network.

Your responses will help us update the Eco Living Guide and provide better information for you.

On July 10, 2023, Health Canada released a letter of intent to propose requirements on the transparency of certain human health hazards of concern (HHHOCs) in consumer chemical products.

Many substances found in consumer chemical products, like household cleaning products, have been linked to human health hazards of concern (HHHOCs) such as carcinogens, mutagens, and reproductive toxicants.

Given the above statement, rate on scale of 1 to 5, how you feel about Health Canada’s statement that "Many substances found in consumer chemical products, like household cleaning products, have been linked to human health hazards of concern (HHHOCs) such as carcinogens, mutagens, and reproductive toxicants."

Did you know that the disability of Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) can be triggered from exposures to chemicals in commonly-used products?
Clear selection
Since product use determines air quality and some products such as fragrances, perfumes, scents or colognes disable some people, at least 1 in 34 Canadians (Statistics Canada, 2020), to the point of unemployment and lack of access to health care and the community, would you change your product choices to fragrance-free and least toxic? 
Clear selection
Are you concerned about people having symptoms and reactions to products? 
Clear selection
Are you concerned for yourself and your family using toxic products that may cause reactions in other people?
