Household Cleaning Products - Say No to Toxic Cleaners
I believe you can trace many major illness to toxic cleaners people started using during the industrial revolution.
Many manufactures produced cleaners with synthetic chemicals which are extremely hazardous to humans.
It has taken a few decades to discover the harm caused by these deadly chemicals but the truth is you must say no to toxic "CLEANERS" which are directly related to the death of many humans around the world.
According to Share Guide "Every year thousands of household poisonings are reported. Many are fatal. Approximately 70% of all poisoning accidents occur in children between the ages of one and five.
Almost all childhood poisonings are caused by unsafe storage and handling of household cleaning products and medicines."
According to Poison Control, dish-washing detergent accounts for more accidental poisonings than any other household substance. Dandruff shampoo, if swallowed, causes vital organs to degenerate. Household ammonia, when mixed with bleach is a deadly substance. Bug spray can remain active and airborne in your home for up to 30 years.
Seniors are also at risk. With increasing age, people become more vulnerable to the harmful effects of environmental chemicals due to the deterioration of physiological and biochemical processes, which include certain age-related biochemical, morphological and functional changes associated with the nervous system.
For example, the elderly are likely to suffer more than younger people from exposure to carbon disulfide and to certain pesticides and chemicals.
The most common ingredients in household cleaning products include alkalies, acids, detergents, other toxic chemicals.
Alkalies are soluble salts that are effective in removing dirt without excessive rubbing.
Alkalies vary in strength; the stronger one cause burns, and if swallowed can cause internal injuries and even death.
Acids are beneficial in removing hard-water deposits, discoloration and rust stains. Acids can irritate and injure the skin and eyes. Oxalic acid, used in some toilet bowl cleaners, is extremely poisonous.
