Household chemicals - harm and advantage

"At hit on skin it is immediately plentiful to wash with flowing water!". Approximately such warning inscriptions can be seen on means for cleaning and disinfection of surfaces. And it is the truth. Caustic alkalis and strong chlorine-containing and mineral acids are a part of such cleaners. Therefore the contact with such mix of skin can cause the most severe burn. God grant, if someone by mistake of accepts such means inside. And they can smell very pleasantly.


Except the means of household chemicals cleaning a surface there are also zhiroudalitel – detergents. They except the strongest alkalis and acids contain strong organic solvents. Solvents do work on cleaning of surfaces of plates after three-annual operation. Such "cocktail" consisting of sulfuric acid or strong chlorine-containing acid with acetone or air only it is also possible to wash the burned fat of year prescription. To wash nothing else such surfaces. There are, of course, detergents of less strong action, but also the quality will be corresponding. It is possible to imagine what happens to your skin at hit of acid and solvent on your skin.

Laundry detergents and other detergents do not contain in the composition of acids. However they have other "delights" - so-called, surfactant – surfactants. Surfactants are cationic, anion and neiogenny. Are the most hazardous to health anion surfactant. Therefore attentively read composition of powder. On the washing action cations and anions strongly do not differ, and here on action on skin – differ. And it is quite strong. Surfactant is much more harmless than Neiogennye iogenny.

Different propellants are a part of aerosols. Applied earlier, generally absolutely harmless freona, however after problems with ozone gaps in the atmosphere of a freona ceased to apply and replaced them with "harmless" gases – propanobutanovy mix and light aldehydes. However these substances affect the person as neurotoxins. All of us know virulence of household gas. So spray can neutralize not our smell, and ourselves.

On many means of household chemicals there is no structure or the structure is written approximately so: "Citric acid with active agents", "scum cleaners", "the unique deodorizing element". You should not buy such household chemicals. However, not everything is as terrible as can seem.

Here effect of the strongest acids, organic solvents and other delights of chemistry is given. But the matter is that without acids and alkalis you will not wash the plate surface which burned within several years. Or the accumulated dirt on a tile. No lemon which is mentioned as folk remedy for cleaning of surfaces will wash a brown raid in a toilet bowl. Therefore household chemicals for the house are necessary, and without it our life can become very difficult. But the matter is that means to means - discord. And if there is an opportunity to buy, for example, spray with "illegal" freon and propane – buy freon. Nobody definitely defined action on the atmosphere, and here on your organism is defined precisely.

During the work with means of household chemicals surely apply gloves and other precautionary measures. Laundry detergent should be chosen with cations or as neiogenny surfactant. As we see, there is nothing difficult.
