“Infant diarrhea and earache were statistically significantly associated with air freshener use, and diarrhea and vomiting were significantly associated with aerosol use. Headache experienced by mothers 8 mo after birth was significantly associated with the use of air fresheners and aerosols; maternal depression was significantly associated with the use of air fresheners.” Farrow A, Taylor H, Northstone K & Golding J 2003, ‘Symptoms of mothers and infants related to total volatile organic compounds in household products’, Arch Environ Health. 58(10):633-41. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15562635
