Maybe you have already realized that the living environment today is not what it used to be, with "health killers" lurking everywhere. To protect the last stronghold - home - drastic measures must be taken: vegetables bought back are soaked thoroughly, clothes worn outside are immediately changed upon returning home, and all floors and furniture at home must be environmentally friendly green products... However, you may not yet realize that while you are enthusiastically building up your defensive "fortress," you might also be carelessly bringing "poisons" back home.
Take a look at your bedroom. There are certainly many cosmetics on your dressing table, but formaldehyde and resin in cosmetics can harm your eyes; talcum powder and face powder contain talc, which is a carcinogen. In your wardrobe, there are probably no shortage of elastic bodysuits, nylon pants, and nylon socks. Nylon polyester synthetic fiber fabrics, when warmed by the body, can release trace amounts of "plastic monomers." The softeners, aerosols, and antistatic agents added during processing also pose potential hazards to human health. Do you often go to the dry cleaner? It's indeed convenient and clean, and it can protect your clothes. However, dry cleaning agents and stain removers contain perchloroethylene, which can damage the liver and bone marrow's hematopoietic function.
In the study, there are also quite a few "poisons." Correction fluid, ink remover, and print correction liquid are very convenient to use, but these chemical agents generally contain toxic substances such as benzene and mercury, which can stimulate excessive secretion of adrenaline and increase the heart's sensitivity to adrenaline, causing an accelerated and irregular heartbeat. Severe cases may result in acute heart disease, or even death.
In the kitchen, various cleaning products are certainly indispensable. Have you noticed that your hands have become rough? This is because the surfactants, builders, and other chemical additives in cleaning products can destroy the oily protective layer on the skin surface, causing corrosion and harm to the skin. The chemical components in detergents also have varying degrees of damage to hair and other parts of the body. Residual detergent on bowls and plates poses a threat to the health of family members. Additionally, you might have the habit of mixing different cleaning agents together to enhance the cleaning effect. However, some household cleaning agents are acidic, others alkaline, and mixing them may cause chemical reactions. For example, using toilet cleaner may produce ammonia gas or ammonia water, and when ammonia water is mixed with bleaching cleaning agents, toxic chloramine gas can be produced, leading to serious lung inflammation and pulmonary edema if inhaled excessively.
In the bathroom, there might be one or two bottles of insecticide and air freshener. If you feel depressed, have headaches, dizziness, or flu-like symptoms after using insecticides, consider the possibility of insecticide poisoning. If you experience chest tightness, fatigue, and eye and nose irritation, remove the aromatic air freshener and see if it gets better.
Rejecting all "poisons" is almost impossible. However, you can completely take measures to keep them to a minimum: clothing, especially underwear, should preferably be made of pure cotton. Wear rubber gloves when using detergents and rinse several times. In closed environments and in rooms for the elderly and children, avoid using strongly scented household chemicals. When the outdoor air is good, remember to open the windows for ventilation.
In modern home cleaning concepts, the so-called "cleanliness" is not just about being dust-free. It also includes air cleanliness, the minimalist idea of soft decoration, and safety free from any pollution threats.
