Chemicals That Makeup Laundry Detergents
By Janelle Elizabeth
Its obvious to all that we need to reduce toxic emissions. They harm the environment and people, and can be causing both irreparable damage. The people of the western world are in a position to make a stand and restore some of the earth's resources that we have already damaged.
A lot of these products in our everyday lives have harmful chemical ingredients. In some cases these are listed clearly, but few of us are able to discern the truth from the scientific jargon. In others, the list of ingredients is very unclear.
Either way, some of these chemicals can affect us, our families, and the environment in very negative ways.
Laundry detergent is one such product that often times contains vague information on its list of ingredients. The residues left behind are potentially harmful as well. Even if your clothes may seem very fresh and clean, they may actually just be loaded down with harsh toxins.
A list of ingredients found on a common brand of laundry detergent leaves a consumer with a lot of questions. For instance, such ingredients included a buffering agent, stabilizer, brightening agent, and fragrance. This confusing description raises even more questions.
What causes that lovely fragrance? What cleans them?
When a closer look is taken, the list becomes shocking
at the harmful chemicals found in such a common product as laundry detergent. As a consumer, it becomes clear that it may be time to take control and use a safer alternative.
When your detergent claims to offer brighter and whiter clothes, you may want to rethink your decision. The "optical brighteners" found on the label of one detergent are actually synthetic, or man-made chemicals. They work by turning ultraviolet wavelengths into visible light that makes clothes appear whiter, yet does not really make them any cleaner.
Their negative effects include being toxic to fish and to cause bacterial mutations.
Additionally, they may cause allergic reactions to skin when later exposed to sunlight.
Another common selling feature of laundry detergents is fragrance. A lot say that they leave your clothes "smelling fresher" or "lemon fresh". The artificial fragrances found in detergents can often be derived from petrol. These are not biodegradable and can harm the environment. Research has shown that these artificial fragrances can have toxic effects on fish and mammals. Moreover, they can cause allergies, skin, and eye irritation.
These detergents may in fact create whiter and better smelling garments, but the harmful price being paid for your family and on the environment is hardly worth it.
Chemical that are petroleum based are often ingredients in common
laundry detergent
