According to CP24, a new report from the Canadian Environmental Law Association and Environmental Defence shows polyvinyl shower curtains contain as many as 100 toxic chemicals that are known to cause health problems.

The groups say chemicals from the curtains that are released into the air could contribute to a host of ailments ranging from minor complaints like headaches and nausea to major troubles like respiratory difficulties, damage to the central nervous system and liver and kidney malfunctions. The researchers warn of “that new shower curtain smell,” which they say puts the ‘toxic’ in intoxicating.

Ok, so we’re off to buy a non-toxic shower curtain, if such a thing exists.
