However, despite the thousand attentions that we reserve to cleaning, hidden toxins can lurk which we completely ignore but which can also prove to be very dangerous for the Welfare of all. These are toxins harmful to humans that lurk, insidiously, in commonly used objects on which science is deepening its studies.
According to what emerged from the chemical investigations more recent, there would now be evidence that some synthetic substances usually present in the home can contribute to the development of diseases and forms of disability. Experts, therefore, recommend some items to be removed immediately so as to free yourself from potential risks.
First, it is good to throw away what it contains bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical component used to harden plastic and, therefore, to make products more resistant and long-lasting. Already banned in baby bottles and other items for children, it is one of the causes of infertility and cancers in adulthood. The risk therefore arises fromcontinuous exposuresilent and unaware of this substance over the years.
Attention, then, also to the phthalates, or that group of chemicals present in various types of products of daily use. Cosmetics, household cleaners but also some foods, for example, can contain large quantities, endangering the respiratory and neurological systems of the people who use them, as well as increasing the risk of obesity. Also pesticides present in more or less consistent traces on the fruit and vegetables we bring to the table require specific care.
Many synthetic substances used during cultivation, in fact, can contaminate food up to our plates and it is essential to carefully clean fresh food. And what about the lead residues that lurk in old paints home? Better to get rid of it to avoid the risk of poisoning, headache, dizziness, high blood pressure and fatigue.
Finally, we pay attention to additives that serve to delay the development of flames in the event of a fire. THE flame retardantsin fact, they can be found in food packaging, many household items such as bedding and mattresses, electronic components and baby items. Such substances can do more harm than good.
