Chemicals in Everyday Products You May Think Are Harmless - But These Chemicals Can Impact Your Health...

Chemicals in everyday products that you may think are harmless can actually impact your health when used for extended periods or mixed incorrectly.

Today let's learn about chlorine

Chlorine or Chlorine Bleach This is a chemical that everyone should be familiar with. : Some cleaning products contain chlorine and bleach to kill bacteria. When these chemicals remain on surfaces or become airborne, they can cause health problems in the future. Chlorine and bleach are major causes of skin irritation, and when they react with other substances from food, beverages, or other materials when used on containers, residual substances like chlorine and bleach can produce toxic gases or potentially become carcinogenic.

Cleaning products that should NOT be mixed with bleach: Ammonia - Many people might think these two cleaners can be mixed together since they're both useful for cleaning, but this is actually very dangerous. Mixing bleach with ammonia creates vapors that cause respiratory irritation and difficulty breathing. Rubbing Alcohol - Mixing rubbing alcohol with bleach creates chloroform, which is harmful to the body. Even small amounts can cause headaches and nausea. High concentrations can harm the skin, eyes, lungs, liver, kidneys, and can be life-threatening. Toilet Bowl Cleaner - As mentioned earlier, mixing toilet bowl cleaner with bleach creates toxic chlorine gas. This poisonous gas can cause skin irritation and respiratory system problems including the bronchi and lungs. High concentrations can also be life-threatening. Nail Polish Remover - Since nail polish remover contains acetone, mixing it with bleach creates chloroform. High concentrations affect the nervous system and can cause unconsciousness within a short time, and it can also destroy various organ tissues.

Many people may think that using chemical cleaners in daily life isn't a big problem, but certain professions and jobs require daily exposure to cleaning chemicals. For those with sensitive skin and allergies who want a new, health-safe alternative without chemicals that's also environmentally friendly.

For these reasons, Tersano has developed innovative stable aqueous ozone (SAO) technology as a better alternative to protect people and the environment from chemicals.

Stable aqueous ozone (SAO) is a multipurpose cleaning solution that can clean all surfaces and is also used to clean fresh foods like vegetables and fruits to extend their shelf life. SAO can kill viruses and bacteria up to 99.99%.

SAO not only helps reduce chemicals but also saves costs and reduces plastic use and transportation of cleaning products.
