Impaired respiratory function Respiratory ailments are the most common health problem arising from chemicals present in sanitization products. It has been demonstrated that early exposure to large doses of cleaning chemicals can result in detrimental and long-term respiratory function, increasing the risk of childhood asthma as a consequence of epithelial lung cell damage mediated through the innate immune pathways.
A study that evaluated the gut microbiota of infants between the ages of three and four months relative to the composition at one and three years of age demonstrated that alterations in the microbiota of the gut had a strong association with increased household disinfectant use. Concurrently, children exposed to heavier disinfectants also had higher body mass indexes at age three than infants who were less exposed.
Reproductive health Cleaning products are thought to reduce fertility due to studies that indicate such effects. A study of female nurses found reduced fertility among those who reported high levels of disinfectant use. In animal models, it has been found that exposure to QACs results in declined fertility via reduced sperm count and motility in male organisms and the inhibition of ovulation and fertilized egg implantation in female organisms.
Phthalates have also demonstrated the triggering of cognitive dysfunction due to increased oxidative stress in the brain. Furthermore, VOCs, gases emitted from various products, are known to readily pass through the blood-brain barrier, where they can enter into the central nervous system, producing toxic effects on brain cells.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the potential health consequences associated with the use of alcohol-based hand sanitization products Hand hygiene is typically a crucial measure to prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria. This has been illustrated most notably during the COVID-19 pandemic.
