'Dust in the house' concept is so familiar to us, its level of danger is well known. But things are even more horrible when 45 new toxins have been discovered in indoor dust.

Accordingly, the scientific team led by Professor Washington Washington of Washington University School of Public Health has just announced the group has identified 45 toxic chemicals that have been and are hidden in dust samples. in houses in 14 states of the United States.

These 45 new toxins come from dust, corroded, spilled particles from consumer products, plastic goods, furniture, carpets, curtains, electronic devices, toys . and those are completely The chemical dust is dangerous but the team has not been able to determine whether 45 toxins directly affect something to the human body.

Previously, chemical dust in fire-resistant materials with the scientific name TDCIPP is a type of dust that can cause cancer in humans.

Another chemical dust called DEHP has the potential to cause hormonal disorders, respiratory problems and reduce IQ on children.

And it is impossible not to mention Phthalate - the chemical dust found in soluble solvents present in a variety of vinyl, cosmetic, toys, and phenol found in fire retardant materials.
