There are probably things in every home that cause real harm to the people living in it.
It is not for nothing that they are often called “domestic vampires”.
They really do suck out our health, imperceptibly but surely and mercilessly.
Cookware with non-stick coating
This type of coating is usually made from polytetrafluoroethylene, which releases toxic gases when heated to 600 degrees.
And these gases can lead to the development of cancer and other dangerous illnesses.
Air fresheners
The toxins contained in these products accumulate in the human body over time.
Phthalates and other hazardous chemicals found in air fresheners are easily inhaled, absorbed through the skin, or accidentally swallowed.
All this is fraught with damage to the lungs, kidneys and central nervous system.
In addition, changes in hormonal levels are possible, which increases the risk of developing cancer and problems with reproductive function.
Antibacterial soap
For a long time it was considered the best means of protection against harmful bacteria and diseases.
But scientists have not found any solid evidence that it is more effective in this regard than regular soap.
Moreover, there is reasonable evidence that antibacterial soap may create conditions for the activity of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Accordingly, diseases caused by these microbes are more difficult to cure.
It also turned out that such soap can damage the skin and mucous membranes.
Air purifiers and humidifiers
Due to the chemical substances in their composition, a person may experience burns to the skin and eyes.
There is also a risk of damage to the lungs and airways, as well as a risk of cancer.
