What to know or do

Treat “Gardening” as generally okay only when it matches the preparation, amount and health context described here. Ventilate when painting or cleaning, follow labels and choose the least irritating product that works.

What changes the answer

  • The exact product, task, temperature, duration and ventilation
  • Whether exposure is through breathing, swallowing, skin contact or injury
  • Any label warning, spill, symptoms or repeated occupational-level exposure
