Helpful articles CLEANING PRODUCTS CAN HARM YOUR CHILDREN The symptoms of persistent wheezing in young children may be linked to cleaning products they were exposed to while in the womb. Research showed that 10 percent of the children born into families who used cleaning products such as bleach and carpet cleaners were twice as likely to battle wheezing problems than those who were exposed to cleaning products the least. A study involving almost 14,000 children was conducted to find out if there was a link between prenatal exposure to cleaning supplies and wheezing. The 10 Most Common Cleaning Disinfectants Used by Pregnant Women,Bleach,carpet cleaner,dry cleaning fluid,aerosols, air fresheners,turpentine/white spirit,paint stripper, paint or varnish,pesticide/insecticides, window cleaner The children in the study were followed until they reached 3-and-a-half years of age. Results from the study revealed that the babies who were exposed to these chemicals most frequently were more likely to develop persistent wheezing as young children. The relationship between exposure to the cleaning products and wheezing was the same despite environmental factors such as parental smoking, damp housing and family history of asthma. Although these findings haven't confirmed that these chemicals have caused an increase in the number of asthma cases, one expert stated there was growing evidence that environmental exposure at an early age might contribute to the development of asthma. Other experts view this study as a reminder to pay closer attention to the indoor air quality we breathe as it might play a big factor in the health of children's lungs. BBC NewsDecember 23, 2004 |
