Toxic chemicals are sometimes used around the house for cleaning floors, washing dishes and painting walls. They can also be used in car products, gardening materials and hobby supplies. A product is toxic when it has any of these words on its label:
poison, corrosive, flammable, warning or caution.

Make sure you get permission from an adult before handling these products.


FUN FACT: Some towns, like Santa Monica, California, have paint exchange programs where people can swap or give away their reusable paint rather than throwing it away. Start one in your community!
