The Impact of Environmental Toxicants on Our Physical and Mental Health
According many scientific researchers, our entire population has been dowsed with chemicals. There are several aspects of this dowsing that should concern us. First, and foremost, many of these chemicals are suspected to have damaging health effects on humans, as well as, other life forms. Second, most of these chemicals have only recently been produced so the environment is clearly changing and being challenged by these newcomers. Third, almost all of these chemicals exist in the forms and amounts that they do because of human practices-including agricultural, industrial, and many domestic activities as well. Fourth, many of the chemicals that we produce don 't get used in a productive way-that is, they are wasted, disposed of, and/or left abandoned. Out of the chemicals that are found in items that many people including me use on everyday basic three of them stand out the most. One of them is deodorant which has fifteen chemicals most worrying: isopropyl myristate and parfum. The possible side effects of this irrational of skin, eyes and lungs, headaches, dizziness and respiratory problems. The other is found body lotion another item that humans use every day. It has thirty-two chemicals most worrying propylparaben, polyethylene glycol, which also found in oven cleaners. Side effects are rashes, irrational and hormonal disruption. the last one is found in shampoo which has fifteen chemicals the most warring sodium laurel sulphate and tetrasodlum. the side effects include irrational and possible eye damage. Every chemical has his own effect but we as human if we don 't do the research we won 't know it. Methylparaben found in body lotion can cause breast cancer and skin damage. "Methylparaben may increase risk of breast cancer, or accelerate the growth of these tumors".(Tracy) Is a bad chemical that is slowly killing both men and women either by skin damage or breast cancer.
