Which household and garden products are worth avoiding.
Where to find support
- Your doctor, for medical advice, referrals and emotional support.
- Your fertility clinic, for questions about your treatment or results.
- Your nearest hospital or maternity unit, if you are pregnant and worried.
- Your local emergency number, if symptoms are severe or worsening.
Key takeaways
- Ventilation, gloves and following label directions reduce exposure.
- Some pesticides and solvents are more worth avoiding than others.
- Reasonable precautions are enough; total avoidance is not realistic.
