Perfumed cleaners pollute the air
A study from Purdue University in the United States has found that cleaning products scented with essential oils or artificial fragrances produce tiny nanoscale particles that react with ozone inside homes. These particles form and become small enough to reach the lungs and enter the bloodstream, potentially posing health risks equivalent to exposure to air pollutants in crowded streets. The study revealed that these particles form rapidly during cleaning and are difficult for air quality monitoring devices to detect, which exposes users to the risk of breathing in high doses of small particles that penetrate deep into lung tissues. Some research has also linked excessive exposure to certain compounds, such as limonene, to heart disease and diabetes. The researchers recommend using unscented cleaning products, ventilating rooms during cleaning, and avoiding ozone-generating air purifiers to reduce these invisible indoor air pollution health risks.
