Cleaning products and disinfectants can increase your risk of developing handicapping chronic obstructive lung disease, COPD, by up to 38%. Harvard and NIH researchers followed more than 73,000 US nurses occupationally exposed to such toxic chemicals over a 6 year period.
The nurses were using chemicals including bleach, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, ammonia, and glutaraldehyde to clean both surfaces and medical instruments. A history of smoking or asthma did not impact the recorded risks.
COPD is the 3td leading cause of death worldwide, and up to 20% of cases are linked to occupational toxins. You probably use many products that crippled these nurses at home. When you do, limit your exposure and ventilate well.
