Narrative:
Artificial fragrances being pumped out of the vents at the airport are toxic; contain phthalates; can cause respiratory irritations and are known to cause cancer as well as many other issues. Everyone in the airport has to wear a face covering; and it comes with a challenge to breathe out of a face covering while wearing it all day; every day. What is the use of a false fragrance? It's irritating to employees and can cause headaches as well. We are currently being exposed to cleaning chemicals ...we do not need any additional irritants in the air for cosmetic purposes.
