A new study reveals that certain common household cleaning products may contain harmful chemicals linked to respiratory issues and skin irritation when used frequently. Researchers analyzed ingredients in widely available disinfectants and found traces of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can linger in the air after application. The findings suggest that prolonged exposure—particularly in poorly ventilated spaces—could pose risks for users and occupants. Experts recommend evaluating product labels and opting for alternatives with lower chemical concentrations when possible.
