In Your Laundry Detergent

[bakyad]

There's nothing like a fresh load of clean, 6 Minutes To Skinny sweet-smelling laundry. Unfortunately, underneath those pleasant aromas and squeaky cleanliness hides a dirty secret. Run-of-the-mill grocery store laundry detergents are little more than a slurry of toxic chemicals. They get the job done, but at the cost of you and your family's health.

What's more, most people don't even realize just how many chemicals are in these products. You won't normally find them on the label, and manufacturers aren't required by law to list them. The toxicity of these substances ranges from fairly mild effects, like allergies and skin irritation, to serious ones, like neurological diseases and cancer, and developmental disorders in children. Here are some of the most commonly used laundry detergent chemicals and their potential dangers.

Endocrine Disruptors

Any laundry detergent chemical formula featuring stain removers will almost always contain surfactants called alkyl phenol ethoxylates (APEs). These allow stain-causing particles to be washed away more effectively. However, the FDA warns that these surfactants may disturb proper hormone function, which could cause infertility, early or late puberty, growth problems and reproductive cancers.

Brightening Agents

These chemicals work by reacting with ultraviolet light, which makes whites look whiter. Brightening agents are known to be phototoxic. This means that exposure to sunlight can trigger an allergic reaction on any skin it came into contact with. Furthermore, many experts also suspect that brightening agents could cause bacteria to mutate into more dangerous strains.

Petroleum Distillates

You may be more familiar with petroleum distillates in the forms of kerosene, naphtha and paint thinner. Many decades ago, these substances were used to clean laundry, but the practice was stopped because of the health and safety hazards the chemicals presented. Unfortunately, they're still used in today's laundry detergents. The possible effects of exposure include respiratory damage, cancer and irritation of the eyes, nose and throat.
