We characterized exposures during routine household cleaning and tested an intervention to reduce exposures to cleaning product chemicals. This study demonstrates that choosing cleaning products that are marketed as green may reduce exposure to several carcinogens and endocrine disruptors. Future studies should determine whether use of unscented green products would further reduce exposure to terpenes and musks.</p>
