Norwegian experts warn that the use of detergents and cleansers, such as daily consumption of 20 cigarettes, is detrimental to lung health.
Studies show that regular use of detergents affects lung health, which is equivalent to a daily pack of cigarettes.
The study monitored more than 6,000 people over a 20-year period, and found that these people, especially women, had significant problems after long-term use of detergents.
Norwegian experts have advised people to avoid consuming these detergents regularly and replace them with water and microfiber cloth.
According to experts, while the short-term effects of the use of chemical detergents on the risk of asthma have been well investigated, little is known about its long-term effects.
According to the Independent, researchers believe that these chemical products are gradually damaging the airways and may accelerate the deterioration of lung function with age.
