"Hispanics Face High Cancer Risk From Breathing Household Chemical" [1]

"Hispanics have a cancer risk from air pollutants as much as five times the rate of others living in the same cities. But it isn’t outdoor air posing the greatest danger; it is something much closer to home: Toilet deodorizers and moth repellents in their bathrooms and closets. Researchers call for a ban on the carcinogenic chemical used in the consumer products."

Janet Wilson reports for Environmental Health News September 11, 2009. [2]
