What harm does washing powder do to the human body?

Washing powder can be said to be one of the daily necessities. Since food, clothing, housing and transportation are people's basic needs, and clothes need to be washed with washing powder, people have many opportunities to come into contact with washing powder. In fact, laundry detergent contains some harmful substances, which will have adverse effects on people's bodies, and some people are allergic to laundry detergent. We need to have a basic understanding of the harm that laundry detergent can do to the human body.

The ingredients in laundry detergent are harmful to the human nervous system, circulatory system, immune system, reproductive system, and skin, and may even be a factor that induces cancer:

① The synthetic aromatic substances contained in laundry detergent can cause chronic toxicity to the nervous system, causing symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite;

②After sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate penetrates into the human body, it is easy to cause changes in hemoglobin and cause anemia due to its strong blood solubility;

③ Washing powder may also cause allergic reactions in the human body;

④ Chemical ingredients such as alkyl sulfonates can be absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes. If pregnant women use them frequently, they can cause egg cell degeneration and egg death.

⑤ The cationic and anionic surfactants contained in laundry detergent can remove the oily protective layer on the skin surface, thus corroding the skin and causing great damage to the skin, even causing contact dermatitis, baby diaper rash, and palmoplantar keratoderma;

⑥ Artificially culturing gastric cancer cells and injecting alkylbenzene sulfonate, the basic substance of chemical detergents, will accelerate the deterioration of cancer cells.

After understanding the harm that laundry detergent can cause to the human body, we should be aware of the harm of laundry detergent. Although laundry detergent is very important, you can try to use less laundry detergent when washing clothes. You can look for some soaps or laundry detergents that are less harmful to the human body instead. We must be responsible for our own bodies, so we must use laundry detergent with caution.
