Does anyone have a good link or resource for the dangers of aerosol sprays?
Kate's school asks that we provide them with bug spray and sunscreen or apply it before school. I generally do both. This summer for camp the literature specifically asked for "spray" sunscreen to make it easier/faster for the teachers to apply it to the kids before going out. Why I feel their pain on the application of sunscreen to mutiple kids, I go out of my way to use nothing in aerosol spray cans and as far as I know most aerosol sunscreens are the ones with toxins in them. So while I pay $20 a bottle to put non toxic sunscreen on my kid she is still directly in the path of and breathing in toxins (only way to get it in her fatser would be injection!)
Vent over. If anyone has a reputable source on this issue I'd be grateful! TIA

Scroll down a little bit and they talk about the warnings that these sprays will require. Might be helpful.

I doubt you'll be able to get them to stop using it unfortunately. I think they should stop making it all together! Maybe could you request that Kate go elsewhere when they spray? And suggest spraying only outdoors? Maybe you could point out on the bottle how it says to use only in well ventilated areas? (I don't know for sure that it does but I'd imagine so). Good luck! I'd be peeved about it for sure.
I know it's not ideal, as she'll be around the kids, but it's probably the best you can ask.
"Good question. We do spray outdoors, and I will remind the staff to make sure they are taking sufficient precautions to ensure that they are spraying a suitable distance away from other students."
