Pariu că nu de Lenor se plâng săracii ăia.
Ci de așa ceva:
- 1,4-dioxane â Also known as diethylene oxide, 1,4-dioxane is a byproduct of the process used to create sudsier and softer laundry detergents. Because itâs a byproduct, 1,4-dioxane usually isnât included on the ingredients list. Short-term exposure to low levels of 1,4-dioxane can bring about nose and eye irritation, while high levels of this chemical can cause severe liver and kidney damage.
- Bleach â Often added to make laundry detergents more effective at removing stains, bleach can actually damage clothes by causing colors to fade and fibers to deteriorate. Bleach is known for being a highly toxic household product, especially when combined with other cleaners and organic materials. When bleach mixes with organic materials in the environment, the result is chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are believed to be human carcinogens.
- Fillers â Just liketheir name implies, these are bulking agents that serve no purpose beyond adding volume to laundry detergents. Fillers can induce allergic reactions, form an oxygen-blocking layer over soil, and erode washing machine parts.
- Fragrances â The word âfragrancesâ refers to any number of chemicals that give a product a certain aroma. Fragrances donât do much outside of making laundry detergent smell nice. In fact, some materials used in fragrance compounds can cause health problems, the least worrying of which are allergic reactions and sensitivities.
- Phosphates â Manufacturers will add phosphates to laundry detergents to increase their efficacy in hard water or water with a high mineral content. When phosphates enter aquatic ecosystems, these chemicals can throw them off balance by promoting rapid algae growth. Too much algae will deplete oxygen quickly, suffocating the animals living in that affected body of water.
- Sodium laurel sulphate â Like many other toxic laundry detergent ingredients, sodium laurel sulphate (SLS) is a skin irritant. It does little besides making laundry detergent foam and isnât necessary for clean clothes.
- Surfactants â These ingredients are also known as cleaning agents, and are included in laundry detergents to boost their cleaning capabilities. Besides their numerous detrimental health effects on people â which run the gamut from allergies to liver damage to compromised endocrine systems â surfactants can do a number on the environment as well. When surfactants come into contact with freshwater fish, they break down the protective coating that keeps parasites and bacteria at bay. A couple of known surfactants include linear alkyl benzene sulfonates (LAS) and nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPE).
M-ai convins, nu mai spal rufe in veci pururi, le arunc !
