Fragrance-Free Campaigns Eyed for Minnesota Schools
A Minnesota lawmaker has proposed legislation urging that schools launch a fragrance-free campaign to encourage kids to skip fragrances and scented body sprays that can aggravate asthma and other health problems. Democratic State Rep. Karen Clark first proposed banning fragrances altogether in Minneapolis schools. But her new bill scales that back to an awareness campaign that could include letters to parents, fact sheets, signs in schools, e-mail and web sites. The nursing service manager who runs the school district's asthma program said that one in eight Minnesota students has asthma, and have been treated by nurses for wheezing and headaches caused by the fragrances on fellow students.
Would you like to see something similar in offices and other workplaces, such as restaurants?
