Warning: Washing machine may be the culprit causing infertility

By pushing the toxins absorbed from washing clothes into the water supply, the washing machine can eliminate human fertility.

Every day, chemicals that are harmful to human health are found a lot and scientists do not understand why these substances get into the water supply? But now, researchers have discovered that our clothes are absorbing toxins in the air and when we wash them, they flow into water to where the wastewater is treated. But the treatment does not completely remove chemicals, so they remain in rivers and streams and lakes.

Contaminants include slow ignition chemicals found in furniture, computers and electrical appliances. Along with the compounds in plastics called phthalates (a chemical added in the production of plastics and paints to alter the basic properties of materials), they can cause many consequences. reduces sexual desire, causes infertility, births of babies or babies born with disabilities. Chemicals are able to break down processes in the human body because their composition is similar to hormones produced by the body.

The decline in fertility of humans and animals in this decade makes people more suspicious of synthetic chemicals in nature as the culprit. Researchers from the University of Toronto found that cotton, the flame retardant found in nylon, phthalate and natural fibers, is easy to absorb many of the chemicals in the air.

"The study has shown that clothes washed in washing machines are the cause of harmful indoor chemicals entering the environment, " said Dr. Miriam Diamond, the head of the study .

Phthalate is found in many common products such as synthetic resins; plastic food containers; pesticides; shower curtain; Ship rudder, car and mudguard . This chemical is used to soften plastic. As long as the plastic becomes brittle, phthalate gradually escapes into the air. And natural fibers absorb more phthalate than nylon.

According to Dr. Michael Warhurst, executive director of the CHEM charity fund, clothing can also be attached to phthalate from indoor dust. "Most people don't realize how much toxic chemicals they have in their dusty normal houses. We can reduce the absorption of these substances somewhat by keeping the house clean. But it's clear. We must remove them from life, by banning the use of chemical products , " he said. Meanwhile, two commonly known flame retardants are tetrabromobisphenol A and tetrachlorobisphenol A. Both substances are used in electronic circuit boards and in the outer plastic cover of electrical equipment.

Earlier this week, the researchers conducted an experiment, which showed a serious link between the above chemicals and reduced fertility in dogs. Last month, researchers in the UK pointed out that fleece coats - unofficial uniforms of bird watchers and nature lovers - are the main cause of marine pollution. Because hundreds of tiny plastic fibers have toxic chemicals that have absorbed into the water when they wash their clothes. And fish are choking when they often bite these nylon fibers because they think they are food.
