The use of certain household products would be even more harmful to the lungs than tobacco.
The household products we use to clean up would be as harmful as cigarettes, according to a Norwegian study published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine in February 2018.
Indeed, the use of certain household products composed of chemical particles would be very harmful for the lungs in the long term. Regular use of maintenance spray would even be enough to smoke 20 cigarettes a day (or a pack) over a period of 10 to 20 years.
No effect in men
These products would accelerate the decline of respiratory function and affect women in particular. Thus, the "forced expiratory volume per second" would decrease by 3.9ml per year for housekeepers and 3.6ml per year for house-cleaning women.
According to the researchers, the decline in these lung capacities is the result of irritation caused by most household sprays. No effect has been demonstrated in men.
Therefore, you should avoid chemical cleaning products and favor those that are natural. You can read this article to find out which products to use for which uses:
