How to Avoid Toxins in Your Life

1. Wallpaper

The vinyl chloride wallpaper contains phthalate ester, a chemical softener. It is one of the dangerous substances that are feared to be toxic, and it slowly volatilizes for a long time and pollutes the indoor air. If a young child is constantly exposed to such an environment, he or she may develop genital disorders, so be careful.

◇ Countermeasures: It is recommended to use natural wallpaper. In addition, since the paste that applies wallpaper contains harmful substances, let's choose natural materials rather than chemical glue. It is also a good idea to ventilate the air in the house frequently.

2. Vacuum cleaner

Vacuum cleaners, which are essential home appliances for cleaning, are also items to be careful of. The vacuum cleaner basically sucks air and dust all at once and releases air. The part to watch out for is the air that goes out right away. Since this air contains a large amount of fine dust that cannot be filtered by a dust filter, repeated inhalation by humans can cause asthma.

◇ Countermeasures: Choose a vacuum cleaner that thoroughly seals the body of the vacuum cleaner to filter fine dust without leaking exhaust to the outside. Recently, vacuum cleaners use efficient filters to reduce fine dust emissions, and even self-filter cleaning products are being introduced

3. Electric pad

Electric pad is a product that emits a large amount of electromagnetic waves. In particular, if pregnant women use electric pads a lot, the risk of miscarriage or abnormal childbirth may increase, so be careful. You should also be careful because prolonged exposure to electromagnetic waves reduces the production of melatonin, a hormone that suppresses cancer

◇ Countermeasures: It is better not to use an electric blanket as much as possible, but if you have to use it, choose a product that reduces electromagnetic waves. It is structured to offset electromagnetic waves by winding two heating wires with different directions of current on the heater wire. If you are already using a product, it is recommended to keep it warm for 10 to 20 minutes before going to bed and turn it off before going to bed.

4. Shower

Trihalomethane, which is produced when chlorine, which is injected in large quantities for disinfection in water purification, reacts with organic substances in bathroom air, is one of the carcinogens. In particular, using hot water with a shower can cause trihalomethane to volatilize throughout the bathroom, which can be dangerous.

◇ Countermeasures: The way to get rid of chlorine in the bath water is surprisingly simple. It is to fill the tub with water and put tangerine peel. At this time, wash the tangerine skin in clean water so that there are no pesticides or mold inhibitors left. Or using a shower or faucet with a container to remove chlorine is a good idea. However, since there is no safe water purifier that can completely filter chlorine, it is recommended to ventilate organic matter in the bathroom frequently.

5. Pot and frying pan

Teflon, a fluororesin processed pot and frying pan, are loved by housewives because the surface is smooth and does not stick to cooking and is easy to wash. However, the coating of the pot can emit harmful gases or particles even at normal heating temperatures, causing pain and in severe cases, symptoms such as fever, cold, and cough.

◇ Countermeasures: Change the surface to unprocessed iron or stainless steel cooking utensils. It may be hard to cook for the first time because it's thick, but if you tame it a little, it won't stick well and can be used comfortably

6. Rap

In addition to food storage, substances that multiply breast cancer cells can be dissolved in labs that are commonly used for various purposes. The reason is that plastic wrap is made of a chemical called vinylidene chloride. This chlorine-based wrap produces a carcinogen called dioxin when burned.

◇ Countermeasures: Polyethylene wrap without harmful chemicals is safe. Even if a product with poor adhesion is uncomfortable, it means that it did not use chemicals, so it is safe. Also, safe plastic wrap can melt in the microwave, but if you remove the plastic wrap cleanly, there is no problem with food

7. Wooden chopsticks

Wooden chopsticks contain antifungal agents, and if you put them in hot water, they will melt out. Wooden chopsticks are often used when eating cup noodles or heated instant food, so care should be taken when using them.

◇ Countermeasures: If wooden chopsticks have a unique smell other than the smell of wood, rinse the green tea in the boiled water. However, do not drink the green tea water washed with chopsticks and throw it away.

8. Shampoo

Shampoo, which emphasizes natural ingredients and health, is also a chemical called synthetic surfactant. In addition, paraben, a synthetic preservative, is added to damage hair and scalp. Due to these ingredients, more and more young children develop atopic dermatitis due to shampoo.

◇ Countermeasures: If you have severe dermatitis, wash your hair with soap or only with water instead of shampoo that contains synthetic surfactants. After that, you can get water in a wash basin, add about 3g of citric acid, and rinse your head in the water to see the rinse effect. Camellia oil or olive oil has a treatment effect on hair, which makes it moist and glossy.

9. Electronic mosquito scent

Electronic mosquito odor is also weak, but it is an insecticide. If you drink it continuously for a long time, it can be harmful to the nervous system and immune system, so be careful

◇ Countermeasures: First of all, it is important to prevent the occurrence of mosquitoes so that mosquito repellents are not used. A screen is attached to the window of the house, and mosquitoes are not allowed to enter the house by checking whether there are any torn parts in the screen. If you install a mosquito net when you sleep, you can prevent it without burning mosquito repellent.

10. Clothing insect repellent

A drug called paradichlorobenzene used in clothing repellents has been found to be carcinogenic. In addition, insect repellents contain chemicals that cause abnormalities in the nervous system. Also, naphthalene containing carcinogens is used in insect repellents, so you need to be careful

◇ Countermeasures: It is recommended to use a clothing insect repellent bag to protect clothing from pests. If clothes are put in and sealed tightly to remove oxygen with deoxygenation, bugs that eat clothes die because they cannot breathe. The insect eggs also disappear within two weeks, so you can protect your clothes. Also, lowering the humidity in the closet helps keep clothes for a long time.
