Dead skin helps clean the air

The pieces of dead skin combined with dirt can help reduce 2 - 15% of toxic ozone levels that appear in the enclosed environment inside the house.

The dead cells slipped from the skin every day filled with dirt collected around their house. But the dirty thing is said to help clean the indoor air, according to a recent study by Danish experts. Thus, 500 million skin cells are excreted daily from the body, each of which brings unexpected benefits to their own owners.

According to Canadian Press , chemist Charles Weschler and colleagues from the American Chemical Society collected dust from non-floor surfaces in 500 bedrooms and 151 health care centers in Denmark. They analyzed the amount of squalene and cholesterol in the fat glands in human skin present in dirt. The analytical results show that little cholesterol from the skin contributes to the removal of ozone gas like squalene. Previous research on air quality inside the cabin showed that the reaction between dust and skin, hair and clothing of the people present helped filter up to half of ozone gas appearing in the cavity. In another study, this time in a 30m3 office, a person was found to be capable of removing 10-25% of toxic ozone gas.

" Essentially, humans are the big tank that absorbs ozone. We have only discovered this recently ," Weschler said, adding that regular inhalation of ozone harms lung tissue and is completely not good. Therefore, keeping the indoor environment clean with ozone is extremely necessary, but even though dust has such benefits, experts recommend that people should still diligently clean the house. will avoid spreading infectious diseases or causing allergies to others.
