fresh and clean?
Air fresheners, particularly those with pine, orange, and lemon scents, may emit harmful levels of toxic pollutants, especially when used repeatedly or in small, poorly ventilated rooms, say researchers at the University of California at Berkeley. Make sure that your office is as free from them as your home, and ask that cleaning staff use natural cleaning products, combat tough odors with baking soda and citrus, and open those windows to let in the breeze. (In communal bathrooms, or any bathroom, for that matter, lighting a match combats odor quite well; so do soy-based candles scented with natural oils.)
