Than harmful washing powder



In this article we will talk about what harmful washing powder, and how to replace this "chemical of the enemy" on safe products for washing. Protect yourself and your bisca! The main harm of washing powder as harm to another household, is that such powders contain surfactants (surface active substances) which when ingested, can cause disruption of cells and cause damage and malfunction of our internal organs, namely: 1) liver; 2) kidney 3) brain; 4) violation of the immunity in General.

Washing powders contain phosphates, which degrease the skin and reduce barrier function of the skin. Phosphates increase the harmful effects of anionic-surfactant, which are able to penetrate through pores and accumulate in the body. In tandem, they can cause:

  • • disturbances of liver function;
  • • to provoke atherosclerosis;
  • • disrupt the transmission of nerve impulses in the Central
    and peripheral nervous systems.
Phosphate supplements increase the accumulation of anionic-surfactant on the fibers wash fabrics. Moreover, the more complex the structure of the fibre, the more a-saw-it settles. Stronger than anything they settle on cotton and wool fabrics. Even 10-fold rinsing in hot water does not exempt clothing from the full cleansing and surfactant. In the end, creates a hotbed of constant intoxication, because these harmful substances easily absorbed through the pores under the skin and poison healthy cells.

In addition to harm to humans phosphate detergents cause enormous damage to the environment. Water containing phosphates and surfactants into the reservoirs, stimulating algae growth. Excessive growth and rapid death of algae leads to poisoning of the aquatic environment and the destruction of living organisms, because the decomposition of algae excrete ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. Is the so-called "bloom" and the "withering away" of the ponds, resulting in an overall disruption of the functioning of the oceans and causes irreparable damage to the soil, contamination of drinking water and complicate the purification of water from harmful impurities.

In Europe universally banned phosphate powders. In Russia such a law yet and is unlikely to appear soon. In our country, the content of phosphates in washing powders reaches a maximum level of 50-60%. This allows the manufacturer to increase the efficiency of powder and reduce the cost of production.

In addition, the most popular washing powders by approximately 50% consist of bone meal.Bone meal - processed animal bones. Used to increase the volume and weight of the final product.

Harm ordinary washing powder on the human body can be reduced in the following ways:

  • • To increase the wash temperature to 70-80 degrees and the number of times of rinsing things to 7-12 times since in cold water most of the surfactants are washed away. Difficult to wash out of phosphates from clothing, which has wool.
  • • Buy the powder with a subdued smell, or no (Hypo-allergenic).
  • • Avoid contact of powder with skin. To do this is to use ordinary rubber gloves.
  • • To dry clothes no less than 2-3 days. It is desirable to do outdoors.
  • • After each wash thoroughly aired.
 

But you should understand that these security measures are extremely difficult to observe constantly, and some of the housing conditions, they can be impossible. A logical question arises: what then wash clothes?

The easiest way to protect yourself and the environment from the negative effects of washing clothes is to completely abandon synthetic detergents in favor of the eco-friendly and safe detergents. published
