Whats Under Your Sink?
Bleach, Ammonia or other dangerous household chemicals under your sink? Some of the most deadly have neurotoxins, hydrochloric acid and cause major health issues.
We would like to begin this blog with a thought provoking quote
We are conducting a vast toxicologic experiment in our society, in which our children and our childrens children are the experimental subject
Dr. Herbert Needleman
Pediatrician and Professor at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
Remember our last blog post where we gave you the fact on how 90% of poison exposures occur at home? That is an alarming statistic, so lets take a look at what potential poisons may be contained in the products you have under your sink. Toxins that are putting your children and yourself at risk.
Chlorine Bleach is the chemical most frequently involved in household poisonings in the U.S. and may cause reproductive, endocrine, and immune disorders, as well as pulmonary edema and gastric perforation. Other bleaching agents include Sodium hypochlorite and Sodium perborate
Degreasers may contain petroleum distillates and Trichloroethylene which can damage lung tissues and dissolve fatty tissue around nerve cells, as well as abnormal heart rhythms and death.
Glass Cleaners may contain ammonia. Short exposures to Ammonium hydroxide and Ammonia fumes can irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory system. Prolonged exposure causes edema of the respiratory tract, suffocation.
Oven Cleaners can be one of the most dangerous cleaning products, which cause severe damage to eyes, skin, mouth, and throat. They may contain Sodium hydroxide(lye) which is corrosive to all tissues
Toilet Bowl Cleaners can be extremely dangerous cleaning products. They may contain Hydrochloric acid which can be harmful just by breathing the fumes-and fatal if swallowed
Common Disinfectants may contain Cresol, Formaldehyde, Phenol and Phenyl phenol which can cause digestive disturbances, nervous disorders, mental changes, anemia, skin eruptions, dizziness (these are the type of symptoms people commonly complain to their doctors about.are they connecting the possibility?) and even coma and death. Prolonged exposure to Formaldehyde causes cancer
Sodium Hydroxide may also be found in: Dish washing liquids, Laundry products, Scouring cleansers and Tub and tile cleaners.
Hydrochloric Acid may also be found in Odor eliminators
Butyl Cello solve which can cause irritation and tissue damage just from inhalation may be found in: All-purpose cleaners, Cleaning wipes, Degreasers, Floor polish, Rug shampoos, Toilet bowl cleaners, Tub and tile cleaners and Window cleaners
Here is another statistic surrounding Butyl Cello solve:
A person who spends 15 minutes cleaning scale off shower walls could inhale three times the acute exposure limit!
These toxins are damaging to adults to be sure, but children, especially the very young, are more vulnerable to toxins because of their physiology. They have a higher metabolic rate. They require more oxygen, and they breathe in two to three times as much air (and therefore toxins) relative to body size than adults. An infant is particularly susceptible to neurotoxin chemicals, that is, those that damage the brain or the nervous system. Neurotoxins can have long-term effects on memory, learning ability and behavior.
