POISONOUS HOUSEHOLD ITEMS AND THEIR SOCIAL IMPACT
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Many of the products we use for housework, gardening and home improvement contain hazardous chemicals that endanger our health as well as pollute the environment. These poisons affect our body either immediately (acutely toxic) or over a long period of time (chronically toxic) can damage and destroy cells and chromosomal material (known to cause cancer, mutations and fetal harm). People expose those harmful chemicals in different ways- by eating, breathing, drinking and the most important exposure rotate is through skin. The person involves applying those products and farm workers are most likely to be affected. In other hand those items are uses as sniffer drugs especially by the teenagers. A quite good numbers of common products are presently abused by the young generation in the society just to enjoy the feeling of well being and also to get a quick high for a short period. Identification of those poisonous household products is necessary for awareness to handle the same. An overview of common health and safety hazards is presented.
