“…In total, more than a quarter (28.3%) of the interviewees indicate to read the references to learn more about the fragrances in a certain product. Overall, more men, especially young men (age class [18][19][20][21][22][23][24], than women read the references (Fig. 3).…”

“…The positive attitude toward these trigger words is widespread in the general population [10], although toxicity of "green" and natural products is similar to regular products [1,20]. This uncritical opinion about natural substances can also be explained by the widespread infantilization and naïve view on nature in today's society, especially in the young generation, suitably called "Bambi syndrome" [23]. The survey conducted in Germany in 2010 revealed that people with lower income had a more positive attitude toward products called "natural" and more critical attitude toward chemicals in general, while, surprisingly, the education did not seem to play any role for this attitude [10].…”

Background: Fragranced consumer products-such as cleaning supplies, laundry products, perfumes, and air fresheners-have been associated with adverse effects on personal health and with subsequent societal effects. This study investigates self-reported effects associated with exposures to fragranced consumer products in Germany. Using a nationally representative population-based sample (n = 1102), data were collected in March 2019 using an online survey of adults in Germany. Special questions allowed to differentiate the answers given by various vulnerable subgroups of the general population with the intention to better understand their specific situations. Results:One out of five persons (19.9%) indicates to be fragrance-sensitive. More than half of these persons (55.3%) report respiratory problems and more than a third of them (35.6%) declare mucosal problems. Three out of four autists report to be fragrance-sensitive. Half of the general population (55.6%) think of products with natural fragrance ingredients to be healthier than products with synthetic fragrance ingredients and do not know that this is a wrong assumption. Even more people who report adverse health effects have this wrong impression. People who describe negative health effects caused by fragrances indicate to be exposed by their own use to a similar or even higher extent (up to 98.6%) compared to the general population (96.9%). Slightly more men say that they read the references to the products to get information about the fragrance ingredients compared to women. Three quarters of the population use fragrances to feel more attractive, but still 7.6% report respiratory problems when exposed to fragrances. Conclusions:The high number of individuals who report to experience health problems upon exposure to fragranced products needs to be taken serious and further actions are urgent. Present risk communication measures do not seem to be sufficient to induce appropriate risk reduction behavior in affected persons.

Die Natur als Labor – Chemieunterricht im Freiland

Abstract: Abstract„Natur statt Chemie“, „Chemiefreies Leben“, „Stark ohne Chemie“, die Liste an diesen aus der Werbung entnommenen Slogans ließe sich beliebig erweitern. Doch Chemie kommt überall vor, erst recht in der Natur.
