Most moms have probably thought “all this housework is killing me…” at one time or another.
Scientists just learned that this is actually true.
Researchers at Norway’s University of Bergen published a paper in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine showing the danger women face while cleaning their own homes.
This was no small study. Researchers analyzed data on over 6,200 people over a period of more than 20 years to reach this conclusion.
Women who use chemical household cleaners suffered effects that were equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes per day for 20 years!!
Damage is cumulative over time!
When chemical agents like ammonia, chlorine bleach, quaternary disinfectants, and other chemical compounds are regularly inhaled into the sensitive tissues within the lungs, it makes sense that respiratory problems would result.
“Exposure to cleaning chemicals,” the researchers wrote, “could result in accelerated lung function decline and chronic airway obstruction; low-grade inflammation over many years could possibly lead to persistent damage to the airways.”
“
“The take-home message is that in the long run cleaning chemicals very likely cause rather substantial damage to your lungs.”
