Women world Health Organization use a lot of household cleaning products when they ar pregnant, or shortly after giving birth, are increasing their child's risk of developing asthma attack. That's according to the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents of Children (ALSPAC, also known as Children of the Nineties), that recruited over 13,000 children from before nascency and has followed them to post 16.
The findings indicated that early life exposure to the chemicals contained in household cleansing products was linked to a 41% increase in a child's chances of developing bronchial asthma by the age of 7 geezerhood. During the study, a large number of other factors known to affect the onslaught of bronchial asthma, such as family history, were accounted for. The results thus present a possible chemical mechanism for the 'hygiene hypothesis', which suggests that children brought up with humbled exposure to bacteria and dust in the home in their early age are less likely to build an immunity to asthma later in life.
