That 'new shower curtain smell' gives off toxic chemicals, study says
An environmental organization finds high concentrations of dangerous chemicals in curtains sold at major stores.

Vinyl shower curtains sold at major retailers across the country emit toxic chemicals that have been linked to serious health problems, according to a report released today by a national environmental organization.

The curtains, sold at Bed Bath & Beyond, Kmart, Sears, Target and Wal-Mart, among other major retailers, contained high concentrations of chemicals that are linked to liver damage as well as damage to the central nervous, respiratory and reproductive systems, said researchers for the Virginia-based Center for Health, Environment & Justice.

I hear you can get a good deal on used ones on Craigslist.

Or maybe just get a shower door like we city folks do. I think you'll have to wait until they invent indoor plumbing around your parts, though.

We got indoor plumbing. What we dont have is the over-clorinated, smelly, polluted stuff known as a public water supply.

At least I didn't have to worry about those toxic chemicals at the last hotel I was in. Now those toxic microorganisms are another story...
