AWARE of Mold and Mycotoxins

Mold is a naturally occurring substance found in outdoor environments and a vital and necessary part of many ecosystems; however, if it is found in abnormally high amounts in a human dwelling, it can be a very serious health hazard. Because it excretes toxic compounds known as mycotoxins, mold is one of the leading environmental toxins to be conscious of today. Where does one begin with mold knowledge? Visit our Mold/Mycotoxins section to find out more.

AWARE of Pesticides

Pesticides consist of chemical substances, biological agents, and other devices used to eradicate pests—and are routinely applied in and around schools, apartment complexes, and homes. Because of their synthetic chemical nature, pesticides can cause a wide array of health problems, including injury to the nervous system, reproductive system, and more. Are there any healthy alternatives? Visit our Pesticides section to find out more.

AWARE of Food

The modern diet is one based mostly on convenience—unfortunately, causing our bodies to have to deal with the inconvenience of numerous harmful chemicals, antibiotics, GMO’s, etc. How do we nourish ourselves and avoid the countless health issues that result from a highly processed diet? Visit our Food section to find out more.

AWARE of Household Products

From detergent and cleaning supplies to fabric softeners and air fresheners, our homes often present hidden health risks. How does one make the necessary changes to ensure a clean and healthy home environment? Visit our Household section to find out more.

AWARE of Personal Care Products

Toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant—it's the ingredients in the little things that can make the biggest difference. What are some safe product options? Visit our Personal Care section to find out more.

AWARE of EMFs

EMF (or ElectroMagnetic Field) is a term commonly used to describe radiated fields generated by devices such as televisions, radios, microwaves, and motors. Different EMF frequencies affect the body differently, so safe exposure levels must be determined for each frequency range and the proximity to the devices that generate them. What can we do minimize our exposure to EMFs? How do we measure our current levels of exposure? How do we determine what types of exposure can be harmful? Visit our EMFs section to find out more.

AWARE of MCS

Multiple Chemical Sensitivity is the inability to tolerate an environmental chemical or class of foreign chemicals. It develops from exposure to substances in the environment such as toxic mold and pesticides, and may result in intolerance to even very low-level exposure to chemicals. What are the symptoms of MCS and what adjustments can be made to accommodate it? Visit our MCS section to find out more.
