I will be straight on the P & G in the morning but hold out little hope. OH well I guess it's a lesson learnt............ When these chemicals are dispersed into the air, they mix with the air in the home and pollute it. When we breathe them in, they can cause several minor health issues like headaches, coughing, allergies, and throat irritation, and over time, they can lead to major health problems.

In a larger room, the concentration of the freshener reduces since the air spreads it around, but in smaller rooms and tighter spaces, the concentration is higher. This will mean there are higher chances of headaches, breathing difficulties, and other health problems when using plug-in air fresheners in small rooms.
