This article evaluates the environmental impacts of cleaning agents and their role in contributing to health issues facing human beings. The author is a scholar in the field of botany and she relies on empirical research to develop findings on the issue. The author explains that cleaning agents contain chemicals that cause indoor pollution if inhaled. Additionally, the cleaning products are also poisonous if they are ingested and harmful if touched or inhaled. The article backs up these views with research findings which reveals that 20% of janitors receive burns to the skin or eyes as a result of cleaning agents while another 12% face adverse health effects due to inhaling fumes from these chemicals. The author provides tips that people should use when purchasing cleaning agents so that they may minimize adverse health effects that they are exposed to. Some of these include purchasing biodegradable products, choosing plant-based products, reading warning labels and avoiding products with cosmetic additives. This article is insightful and essential for the research since it not only provides background knowledge on the hazards of household cleaners, but it also develops tips and solutions that consumers can implement to reduce the adverse risks of exposure from toxic agents.

This journal article evaluates the impacts of chemical household products on the health of children. They authors rely on findings from empirical research, which makes the research credible and valid. Specifically, they conduct research on parents and children through use of a longitudinal research approach regarding use of 11 chemical-based cleaning products. Their research findings show that the increased frequency of use of cleaning products led to persistent wheezing in children. Additionally, children who were born to mothers who were exposed to cleaning agents during pregnancy were also twice as likely to wheeze as compared to children whose mothers were not exposed to these chemicals. The findings show that pregnant mothers and children on general should reduce exposure to health products since the chemicals in them adversely affect their health and cause wheezing. This article is important for the research since it provides empirical evidence on the adverse consequences of household cleaners in line with the research topic.

This article evaluates the dangers that human beings face when exposed to environmental chemical exposure through common chemicals products used at home. The article is peer-reviewed and bases its findings on empirical evidence from scholars. The researchers conduct research seeking to investigate patterns in exposure to such chemicals and effective strategies that can mitigate against such exposure. They use a meta-analysis of journal studies on exposure of human beings to toxic chemicals found in the everyday products used in the home. Their findings reveal that strategies such as consumer advocacy, individual behavioral changes, and corporate responsibility, can effectively reduce human exposure to harmful chemicals in household cleaners and other home products. This article will be essential for the research since it provides potential solutions to the problem being addressed; the hazards of household cleaners. Through implementing the recommendations made by the authors in this article, humans can significantly reduce their risk of exposure to harmful chemicals from household cleaners and other home products.
