Silent Killers: They Kill 100,000 People Annually and Everyone Uses Them

Every year, there are thousands of people who die as result of the pollution in their home. In most cases this happens because they are not even aware of it.

According to the researches, the air fresheners and cleaning supplies are silent killers in the households, schools, and offices. The last report that was published this week, says that these silent killers have caused 99,000 deaths in Europe.

This report warns people that the bad quality of the air in closed rooms is result of various household items, defective heaters, sprays, and air fresheners. These items, and additionally the cosmetic products, are considered to be the most dangerous pollutants due to the fact that contain liquid chemicals which evaporate very easily.

Besides the products mentioned above, this list includes includes certain furniture, fiber, and glue containing evaporating formaldehyde which irritates the respiratory tract and the lungs.

According to statistical data, formaldehyde is used in more than 3,000 products, which are widely used in our homes. This list includes air fresheners, cosmetic products, plastics etc.

Biological materials, such as dust, mold, and animal hair are the other substances which are likely to negatively affect the human health. All these substances can be found in our homes.
