Dryer sheets are one of the least healthy things you can use in your house.

Here's a tidy list from a blog:

So I'll have to be honest, I like to consider myself a pretty knowledgeable guy when it comes to the environment/environmentalism etc... But, I've never heard of dryer sheets being bad for the environment, more along the lines of bad for living things in general.

I've always known that there were nasty petroleum based chemicles in sheets but until doing some research I had no idea there were so many. I was a bit taken back when I saw the following list:

# Benzyl acetate: Linked to pancreatic cancer
# Benzyl Alcohol: Upper respiratory tract irritant
# Ethanol: On the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Hazardous Waste list and can cause central nervous system disorders
# A-Terpineol: Can cause respiratory problems, including fatal edema, and central nervous system damage
# Ethyl Acetate: A narcotic on the EPA's Hazardous Waste list
# Camphor: Causes central nervous system disorders
# Chloroform: Neurotoxic, anesthetic and carcinogenic
# Linalool: A narcotic that causes central nervous system disorders
