Dishwashing DetergentThe Surprising Poison
DISHWASHING DETERGENT
Dishwashing Detergents and Indoor Air Pollution
What household cleaning product causes the most poisonings? It’s not bleach, Lysol, or drain unblocker – according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, it’s dishwashing detergent. Most of them contain naphtha, a fuel ingredient that is also a nervous system depressant similar to hemlock or Valium.
Dishwashing detergent and other cleaning agents may also have diethanolsamine (a liver poison), chlorophenylphenol (a toxic metabolic stimulant), chlorine, or carbamazepine (another central nervous system depressant). Not only are these chemicals dangerous to your children and pets if ingested, but whenever you wash dishes or clean with them, you’re releasing fumes containing these toxins into the air you’re breathing.
Doesn’t sound like that’s too bad? You eat two or three pounds of food each day and drink about three pounds. But you inhale fifteen or more pounds of air – and any toxins in the air come inside as well. In addition, your lungs aren’t as good at removing toxins as your stomach is, so more toxins get into your system. The EPA recently announced that indoor air quality is our most significant environmental issue today.
Consider the following facts:
Many homes have airborne pollutant levels 25 to 100 times that of the air outside the home.
Cleaning and personal care products you use in your home are three times as likely to cause cancer as airborne pollutants from outside.
1500 hazardous substances can be found in the typical North American home.
About 50% of ALL illnesses are caused by or aggravated by indoor pollution.
Americans spend 90% of their time indoors.
Housewives may have a 55% higher risk of cancer than women working outside the home. Natural cleansers would be a better way to go?
Yes!
