Be careful of this thing at home, it can poison people to death

In modern society, cancer is becoming more and more common. Environmental pollution, food additives, etc. may bring the risk of cancer. In fact, you should also be careful in your home life. There are some hidden carcinogens that you may not even think of. Carpets, sofas, furniture, toys... these common items in the home may cause harm to your health.

What are the carcinogens in household products?

Plasticizers Plasticizers can increase the softness, toughness and elasticity of materials, making them more durable. They are not only widely used in plastic products, but may also exist in rubber, adhesives, resins, cables and other materials. It is almost impossible to completely avoid plasticizers in life. Plasticizers may be present in decoration materials such as flooring and paint, daily necessities such as disposable plastic cups, plastic gloves, toys, raincoats, shoes, shower curtains, credit cards, food packaging such as packaging bags and plastic wrap, and cosmetics such as hairspray, lipstick, nail polish, and lotion.

Bisphenol A Bisphenol A can make plastic products colorless, transparent, durable and shatter-resistant. It is widely used and may be found in tableware, kettles, baby bottles, cans, glasses, mobile phones, computers, shopping receipts and other items. Bisphenol A not only causes heart disease, induces diabetes and liver disease, but also causes female infertility, affects fetal brain development, and even increases the risk of prostate cancer and breast cancer.

Brominated flame retardants

Flame retardants used in electrical appliance casings, carpets, paints, sofa cushion fillings and other products are mainly applied to the surface of objects to prevent them from catching fire due to overheating. Brominated flame retardants are common pollutants that are highly persistent and easily accumulate in the human body. They can interfere with the body's endocrine, immune and nervous systems, causing children to be overactive and have learning difficulties, and lead to decreased sperm quality and infertility in adults. Brominated flame retardants also release carcinogens when incinerated.

Check the source of "poison" in your home

There must be a lot of cosmetics on the dressing table in the bedroom, but the formaldehyde and resin in the cosmetics can damage the eyes; talcum powder and lotion contain talc, which is a carcinogen. Your wardrobe may also include stretch tights, nylon pants, and nylon socks. Nylon and polyester synthetic fiber fabrics can release trace amounts of "plastic monomers" after being heated by the human body. Softening agents, aerosols and antistatic agents added during processing are potentially harmful to the human body. After dry cleaning, the residual dry cleaning agents and stain removers in clothes contain ethylene peroxide, which can damage the hematopoietic function of the liver and bone marrow. Study Room Correction agents, ink removers, and printing correction fluids are convenient to use, but these chemicals generally contain toxic chemicals such as benzene and mercury, which can stimulate excessive secretion of adrenaline and increase the heart's sensitivity to adrenaline, causing accelerated and irregular heartbeats. In severe cases, acute heart disease or even death may occur.

There are definitely various cleaning products in the kitchen. The surfactants, builders and other chemical additives contained in these cleaning products can cause corrosion and damage, and also have varying degrees of damage to the hair and other organs of the human body. Mixing different cleaning agents may cause chemical reactions and produce toxic gases, which can cause severe lung inflammation and pulmonary edema if inhaled in excessive amounts. In addition, toxic pollutants such as kitchen fumes are also carcinogenic factors.

There may be one or two bottles of insecticide and air freshener in the bathroom. If you experience depression, headaches, dizziness, or flu-like symptoms after using pesticides, consider the possibility of pesticide poisoning. If you experience chest tightness, fatigue, or stinging in the eyes and nose, take away the fragrant air freshener and see if that helps.
