Detox Me

We have 270 ways that this app will benefit your body and the environment. Did you know that by replacing your vinyl shower curtain with a nylon one or using fragrance-free cleaning products you can make the air in your home healthier? Reducing your exposure to toxic chemicals is important to us—in fact, it’s what we do at Silent Spring Institute—and this app is an easy, fun, and effective tool to help you do just that.

There is plenty of evidence that common chemicals in everyday products pose a real health risk. This app, developed by our scientists, offers research-based tips on how to avoid certain chemicals where you live and work, and it tracks your progress to see how well you “detox” your life. Detox Me empowers you to take control of your environment and make better choices to safeguard your health. We at Silent Spring Institute believe knowledge is not just power, but a prescription for prevention.
