Since the concerns related to fragrances are emerging health issues, it will be necessary to educate legislative repesentatives on the concerns. A sample letter, a summary, and referenced background information on concerns related to fragrance are provided. These can be used as resource materials. It is generally recommended that letters to legislative officials are brief and concise. The letter can be used alone or in combination with the summary. If more background information is requested or needed, the referenced background information is also available.
The information can be modified to meet your needs as long as the meaning and accuracy of the information remains intact. However, if you are writing to your representative you may want to include information on how fragrance impacts your health and how labeling of toxins and allergens on scented products would be helpful to you.
