Toxic Chemicals and Cancer

Why do many people try to choose eco-friendly cleaning products?

The answer is clear…because they do not harm people, they do not cause allergies and other diseases even such terrible as cancer.

Scientists have proved that toxic chemicals that are contained in the cleaning products contribute to cancer development.

Experts from our company try to avoid using such cleaning products and here is the list of the most common toxic chemicals that contribute to cancer development.

1.      Synthetic musk

Synthetic musk is considered to be endocrine disruptor. Scientific tests have also showed that synthetic musk has been found in the breast milk of mothers.

2.      Benzene

Benzene is considered to be a human carcinogen. The studies have shown that it contributes to increased risk of leukemia and other blood diseases.

3.      Phenol

This toxic chemical is found not only in the cleaning products, but also in the mouthwash. Phenol is linked to damage of respiratory and circulatory systems of your body; it also damages liver, eyes and kidneys.

4.      Phthalates
