HEALTHY PRACTICES FOR LIVING AND BREATHING IN A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT, FREE OF TOXIC SUBSTANCES FOR HEALTH
Hygiene, cosmetics and cleaning products
Conventional hygiene products may contain substances that are toxic to health.
Above all, it is recommended, read carefully the labels of the products that we normally use in our daily lives. personal hygiene, of the home, cosmetics, kitchen utensils, from the cars, etc., which are usually many (bath gel, shampoo, body lotions, moisturising creams, lipsticks, paints, after-sun creams shaving, toothpaste, window cleaner, floor detergent, dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent ….). In conclusion, we must to know them in order to reduce the
PRODUCTS TO AVOID
– Ammonia
– Bleach
Above all, it is important not to mix bleach with ammonia, as it produces a toxic gas called chloramine.
SUBSTANCES TO AVOID
Practices for living in a healthy environment
FTALATOS: DEHP, D3P, DIBUTIL FTALATO,DIFTALATO
They are substances added to plastics to increase their flexibility and are also used as solvents in perfumery and pesticides. Above all, they are therefore hormone disruptors. may cause damage e.g. to the reproductive system, thyroid disorders, infertility, impaired child development, teratogenic disorders, hormone-dependent cancer.
SYNTHETIC MUSK (POLYCYCLIC MUSKS OR NITROMUSKS)
Mostly used in the fragance industry. They can cause alterations in the central nervous system, sperm DNA, hormonal system, respiratory system, urinary system, skin and hormone-dependent cancer.
DEA: DIETHANOLAMINE.
Used in the manufacture of cosmetics, insecticides and herbicides, additive in automotive fluids, in water treatment processes, and natural gas purification. May cause e.g. severe skin and eye damage and is associated with liver and kidney cancer.
SODIUM LAURYL SULPHATE
It is mainly used in pharmaceutical formulations, in shampoos, skin cleanser, toothpaste, as well as detergents in the textile industry and in injectable experiments on laboratory animals. May cause irritation of skin, eyes, mucous membranes, and also upper respiratory tract and stomach.
CHLORHEXIDINE
Antiseptic substance, widely used in dentistry, hand creams and soaps. However, it can cause lesions in the middle ear, cornea, urticaria, as well as angiodema and anaphylaxis.
PHENOL
Used e.g. in the preparation of synthetic resins, dyes, medicines, pesticides, synthetic tanning agents, aromatic substances, lubricating oils and solvents. It can mainly cause respiratory tract, kidney, lung, skin and central nervous system damage. In addition, it has teratogenic and carcinogenic effects.
BISPHENOL A
Used in the manufacture of plastics used as packaging, e.g. for food, beverages, bottles and tableware, as well as food container coatings. Bisphenol A interacts with the hormonal system affecting fertility, in other words probably oncogenic.
FORMALDEHYDE
Used as tissue fixative, preservative, disinfectant, embalmer, in textile, cigarette, deodorant industry…. May cause e.g. respiratory, urinary, digestive disorders, vomiting, eye and skin irritation and cancer.
TRICLOSAN
It is also used as an antiseptic and in personal hygiene products, dishwashing and other cleaning products, impregnated in wood for flooring, paints, etc…. It is registered as a pesticide, therefore, with serious health risks, producing hormonal alterations, as well as genetic alterations.
BROMO
It is used, for example, in the extraction of gold, silver, as a fuel additive, as well as in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and dyes.
It can also cause severe burns to the skin, as well as respiratory, eye, glandular, cardiovascular and nervous system disorders.istema nervioso central.
TITANIUM DIOXIDE
Used as a pigment in paints, as a bleaching agent or opacifier in porcelain enamels, and also in the production of ceramic transducers. It is also found as an additive in many medicines, supplements, creams, etc…. However, it can cause lung disorders, skin and eye irritation, category 2 carcinogen.
IODINE
Used in products in the pharmaceutical industry, photographic industry, dye industry, as a radiological contrast medium, and as a radioactive product. However, it can cause glandular, skin, teratogenic, carcinogenic and anaphylaxis disorders.
CHLORINE
Organochlorine compounds, used as water disinfectants, cleaning products, oxidant in the textile and paper industry. In addition to reproductive, immune and glandular system deficiencies, they can also cause chronic intestinal and oncological disorders.
FLUOR
Used in dentistry, toothpaste, Teflon manufacture, aluminium and semi-conductor production, etc. Fluoride is very serious in patients with renal insufficiency, and can also cause gastric lesions, damage to tooth enamel, as well as damage to bones and the central nervous system.
MERCURY
Mostly used ,in adental amalgam, gold and silver mining, manufacture of mirrors, thermometers, blood pressure gauges, fluorescent lamps, turbine engines, the explosives industry, and as a medicinal antiseptic. Above all, it can lead to injuries to the skin, eyes, serious damage to the central nervous system, as well as in the respiratory, urinary and auditory.
TALC (SILICATE)
Used e.g. as filler in paper manufacturing, lacquers, paints, ceramic industry, additive in rubber and plastics, cosmetics and food industry. It is important to note that the use of talcum powder in the genital area is associated with ovarian cancer.
EDTA
Used e.g. as a chelating and precipitating agent for heavy metals, and also as a drug and in dentistry. May also cause eye irritation, respiratory, digestive and skin lesions.
UNIDENTIFIED PERFUMES AND FRAGRANCES
Apart from the recognised toxic substances used in perfumes and fragrances, there are a number of chemicals that are known to be toxic. are not required to be specified, such as nitrosamines, despite being carcinogenic or other whose effects on human health are still unknown. A large part of the fragrances are Hormone disruptors.
PEG POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL, PROPYLENE GLYCOL AND THEIR DERIVATIVES
Used in the pharmaceutical industry and various cleaning products. May cause skin, kidney and liver damage and hormone disruption.
DMDM HYDATOIN
Mostly used in cosmetic and household products, fungicide. It is a carcinogenic preservative that irritates mucous membranes and causes allergies as well as premature ageing.
PETROLEUM DERIVATIVES – mineral oils, paraffins, petrlatum, dimethicone, microcrystalline wax, silicone, glycerine
Used in cosmetics, however, they produce skin alterations, because they clog the pores, impeding perspiration, producing allergies, acnes, difficulty in eliminating toxins, as well as having a carcinogenic effect and accumulating in the liver, kidneys and lymph nodes.
PARABENES
Used in cosmetics, deodorants, skin creams, as well as baby products and food additives.. They are mainly hormone disruptors, associated with infertility, thyroid disorders, endometriosis, hormone-dependent cancers, and can also cause allergic reactions..
ALUMINIUM SALTS
They are found, for example, in deodorants as well as in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. They clog the sweat glands, causing eczema and skin lesions. In addition, an overload of aluminium in the body, in other words, can lead to diseases of the nervous system.
TRICHLOROETHYLENE, PERCHLOROETHYLENE, TETRACHLOROETHYLENE
Used as solvents to clean metals, as well as ingredients in adhesives, paint removers, correction pens and dry-cleaning of clothes. It produces important alterations in the central nervous system, liver, lung and is also a group 2 carcinogen.
PERMETRIN
Permethrin is one of the best known pyrethroids. They are therefore used as insecticides and pesticides. In addition to a reduction in lactation time, it can cause alterations in the reproductive, immunological, hormonal and neurological systems, it is also potentially carcinogenic and has a strong environmental impact.
CETONAS
Mainly used as solvents for surface coatings with resins, in the preparation of adhesive inks and dyes, also in chemical manufacturing extraction and methacrylate manufacturing. They can therefore produce significant depression of the central nervous system, respiratory tract, liver and conjunctivae.
ORGANOPHOSPHORATE, CARBAMATE and PYRETROID INSECTICIDES
They produce alterations in the nervous system, kidney and liver damage, hormone disruption. However, some of them are widely used and classified as carcinogenic, e.g. glyphosate, parathion, tetrachlorvinphos.
