So many times these studies race across the internet with just the barest of scary facts in them. They just want you to click on the story and drive up their advertising rates.
My immediate questions would be how long did you have to do the cleaning (in terms of both per day and days per year) and how heavy were the chemicals involved? How many birth defects occured in the study popualtion?
I don't doubt that chemicals absorbed through your hands can harm a fetus, but are we talking Windex once a week or a heavy chemical cleaner on a daily basis?
And put the thing in perspective---the risk is roughly equivalent to what (and this has to be something people can relate to)? A pack of cigarettes a day? A bottle of wine a day? Heroin addiction? Breathing polluted air all the time? |
