Hard to imagine something being bad for the environment but not a health
hazard. I would be wary of this statement... especially if it came from a
corporation like 3M that could face HUGE law suits due to people using this
stuff on everything from furniture to cloths. I suspect if you look closer
the will claim something like there have been no 'proven' health concerns...
or 'only trace elements' .... or 'acceptable concentrations'

Something to think about before spraying this stuff in your living
environment (not to mention breathing the fumes while spraying).
