  • Hidden Health Dangers in the Household
  • Maybe you have realized that the health dangers are everywhere at present. When you are outside, you must challenge with various kinds of pollutions, such as sound pollution and light pollution. In many people’s eyes, our house is the safest place for us to live in. However, various kinds of health danger have already hidden in our household to endanger the human health. No matter where you are, kitchen, toilet or bedroom, you have been always endangered by those health dangers. 

    In the study, the health dangers are rather diverse. Many people have to use correction fluid, ink scavenging agent and liquid opaque in the study. However, toxic chemical substances like benzene and mercury are contained in these chemical liquids. These chemical substances can stimulate the excessive secretion of adrenaline and raise the sensitivity of heart to adrenaline so as to cause rapid and irregular heartbeat and even acute heart disease.

    The kitchen is also full of health dangers. People have to make use of things for washing in the kitchen. However, the surface active agents, builders and other chemical additives contained in things for washing can seriously destroy the oily covering layer of the skin to corrode and hurt the human skin. in addition, the chemical compositions of detergents can also hurt the hair and other organs inside the human body. Some people like to use different detergents together so as to strengthen the effect of removing the dirt. However, alkaline detergents and acid detergents can react with each other when they are mixed together. For example, toilet bowl cleaner can produce irritant ammonia or ammonia water. If ammonia water is mixed with the detergents with the effect of bleaching, a kind of toxic chlorine-ammonia gas can be caused. The excessive intake of chlorine-ammonia gas can cause severe inflammation and pleural effusion.

    People must also be rather careful when they are sleeping in the bedroom. The chemical materials including formaldehyde and resin can seriously hurt the eyes. The talcum contained in talcum powder and cosmetics can cause cancer. Even softening additive, aerosol and antistatic agent contained in clothes can endanger the human health.

    In short, household is also not an absolutely safe place for people to relax the vigilance. And people must be rather careful when they work or rest in the household. When we buy the articles for daily use, we must pay attention to their compositions and correct usages.
