A Review: Toxic Chemicals Emitted from Air fresheners & Disinfectants

Abstract

Abstract: Health and wealth are closely related to indoor air quality (IAQ). Breathing clean air can lead to a better quality of life, it reduces the risk of respiratory infections, and it minimize the risk of developing a number of chronic diseases. According to data from the WHO, 90% of people around the world spend their time indoors. Outdoor pollution is 2 to 5 times lower than that found indoors. In this review article, we discussed about how air fresheners, cleaning agents, and disinfectants affect people's health and how they release air pollutants. Air pollution is a significant hazard to people's quality of life. The majority of diseases and early deaths are brought on by breathing this contaminant air. since everyone today uses a variety of cleaning reagents and air fresheners without considering the potentially harmful effects. Spray cleaning technology and disinfectants have been linked to negative respiratory effects. The common Volatile Organic Compounds Emitted by air fragrance products are limonene, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, and other terpenes. These pollutants have been linked to a number of adverse health effects, including contact dermatitis, migraine headaches, asthma attacks, respiratory problems, neurological issues, and mucosal symptoms. This review article emphasizes the drawbacks of chemical-based air fresheners and cleaning products. Here we also focus the unexpected respiratory diseases caused by long term exposure of chemical pollutants emitted by air fresheners on indoor environment.
