House work can cause Asthma


An weekly cleaning of house by using spray may cause asthma,a research study suggests. A study found using household cleaning sprays and air fresheners as little as once a week raised the risk of asthma. Previously it was found out that continuous use of sprayers or house freshners can cause occupational asthma. But now it is found out that even their occasional use also poses a threat of asthma.
The Spanish study of more than 3,500 is published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. Air freshners,furniture cleaner and glass cleaner have higher risk. For anybody concerned about developing asthma as a result of using cleaning products we recommend they speak to their doctor.
This is a concerning news because we cant avoid cleaning our house. We should take genuine precaution and if possible should contact our physician.

I don't think a lot of people consider how dangerous cleaning products can be. There are safer alternatives. We don't have to use poison to clean our homes. Joanne
