Greenpeace Push For Perfume Regulations

Greenpeace contends that the public is in danger from toxic chemicals in fragrances and, therefore, the perfume industry should be regulated by the government. The environmentalists also want to ratchet the perfume industry into using only substances that they deem are safe. The primary chemicals of concern are phthalate esters and synthetic musks, but neither group is currently considered hazardous. According to the Greenpeace Toxic Campaigner, Francis de la Cruz, it's difficult, if not impossible, to determine human risk and danger from the chemicals.

I don't know, but this sure seems like a case of solving a problem that doesn't exist. The chemicals are presently not considered dangerous and the Toxic Campaigner thinks it's near impossible to determine if they are dangerous, yet, for some reason, we must pass laws to control them.

Greenpeace and the Toxic Campaigner will need a stronger case to convince me.
