Most of these options fall in 3 categories: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/articles\/11397-household-chemical-products-and-their-health-risk\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">all-purpose cleaners, laundry detergents, and bleach<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. All-purpose cleaners contain solvents, disinfectants, and grease-cutting agents that include chemicals such as ammonia, ethylene, and several others. Laundry detergents contains enzymes designed that loosen stains, dirt, and other items contained in fabrics. Bleach contains the chemical hypochlorite that is diluted to between 1-5%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Again, most of these products are going to be on the EPA&#8217;s disinfectants for use against SARS-CoV-2 list. In order to qualify, the EPA developed a list of agents or active ingredients that can kill all known strains and variants of COVID-19. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.acs.org\/doi\/10.1021\/acs.chas.1c00026\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This list<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> includes quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), which are the most common; bleach; alcohols (ethanol and isopropanol); hydrogen peroxide; acids; and phenolic compounds.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Active ingredients can either be volatile or non-volatile. Unlike many things in our lives, in the world of chemicals, volatility can be in a good thing. When it comes to cleaning agents, volatile ingredients often do not cause any long-term effects because they are not stable enough to exist for a long period of time. On the other hand, non-volatile chemicals are stable enough to last for extended periods of time, which means they chemicals are around long enough for prolonged exposure.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These household chemicals work in many ways, but they all have a common goal. To work on a cellular level to destroy the cell walls of germs and pathogens. For example, bleach affects the composition of the cellular components like amino acids and DNA. QACs deactivate enzymes which weaken the nature of the cell and disrupt its membranes. Alcohols denature proteins, which kills them. While all of this sounds really technical, it is all just different methodologies of the same task, break down a pathogen at a cellular level to ensure the surface is purified.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c62e5d7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c62e5d7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6e581f1\" data-id=\"6e581f1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e774b05 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e774b05\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">If These Products Break Down Cells, Are They Dangerous To Me?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e2bc0c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7e2bc0c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fortunately, we\u2019re much stronger than a virus, so we\u2019re not in any immediate danger from being around disinfectants (as long as we follow the instructions), but prolonged exposure can be problematic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Earlier, we mentioned that chemicals can be volatile or non-volatile. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) include chemicals like hydrogen peroxide and alcohols. VOCs in higher dosages can effect us in negative ways, including <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0269749114003121\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">lung health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/indoor-air-quality-iaq\/volatile-organic-compounds-impact-indoor-air-quality\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">headaches, and skin reactions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. VOCs may not be around in your home for long, but they can easily be elevated from 2 to 5 times higher than what you\u2019ll find in outdoor ambient air.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Non-volatile conversations, on the other hand, tend to stick around a little longer. For instance, QAC can adhere to certain surfaces or absorb onto dust particles. Since they are non-volatile these reactions don\u2019t destroy the disinfectant and it remains in your home or office. The primarily negative effects of these are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mountsinai.org\/files\/MSHealth\/Assets\/HS\/Patient-Care\/Service-Areas\/Occupational-Medicine\/QACsInfoforWorkers_18.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">irritation and allergies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, so for anyone who is sensitive, it can appear like a chronic condition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, all the side effects discussed above assume you are using them within standard practice.

In fact, you\u2019re probably around bleach all the time, whether at the home or office. Bleach by itself is not particularly dangerous when used properly. It is a non-volatile chemical as mentioned above, but there isn\u2019t anything inherently more harmful about bleach than other non-volatile chemicals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Where bleach becomes dangerous is when not used properly, by accident or intent. For instance, when combined with ammonia, they form chlorine gas, which can burn the lungs and be fatal. This is why you\u2019ve probably heard not to mix bleach with any other household cleaners, because it\u2019s not just ammonia that can create a reaction. Several other chemicals, such as certain laundry detergents, can also have severe negative effects when combined with bleach.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ecbd3d1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ecbd3d1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-adcad95\" data-id=\"adcad95\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c80600 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7c80600\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A Quick Note On illumiPure Solutions<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d2ded5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7d2ded5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-490\" src=\"https:\/\/illumipure.vaultwebsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/112\/2022\/09\/CW-2x4_Alpha-01_0016-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/illumipure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CW-2x4_Alpha-01_0016-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/illumipure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CW-2x4_Alpha-01_0016-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/illumipure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CW-2x4_Alpha-01_0016-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/illumipure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CW-2x4_Alpha-01_0016-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/illumipure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CW-2x4_Alpha-01_0016-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At this point, I think it\u2019s important to recognize that most times, these types of accidents occur not with any intent, but just human error. As I\u2019m writing, I\u2019m thinking about my 2 year old, and how often I forget to fold the laundry and it sits the dryer overnight. This is just one type of human error.

There are<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chronic health issues related to disinfectants or any small trace substance are dangerous because they appear significantly later in life, with years or even decades between the event and the outcome, so they are hard to be detected and classified.

Even though you may not be able to see all the remnants, there are still preventative measures you can take to ensure your own safety and the reduction of any long-term adverse health effects for those around you.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The primary method of reducing exposure is increasing air flow. Odds are, if you start to smell anything (good or bad), it is an indication that air is not moving quickly enough in the area. If you are at the home or at the office, a couple simple things you can do is turn on your exhaust fan or open a window. You can also use a standard fan to move air from one room to the next or outside. Whether in reference to disinfectants or disease the <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/community\/ventilation.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CDC consistently says changing room air is one of the most important things we can do to keep ourselves safe.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re a building owner or builder, you can look at improving your HVAC system if you find consistent odd smells and some other indication you may have long term traces of disinfectants in part of your buildings. In this case, you can consult a mechanical engineer and see what your options are.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you&#8217;re a tenant or residential home owner, you can also look at finding an air purifier that uses a fan that increases the room air changes in the room. This would be similar to increasing your HVAC system, only localized to the part of the office or property that you are in control of. Unfortunately, <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breathingspace.co.uk\/how-to-choose-an-air-purifier-to-remove-traffic-pollutants-i115\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">air purification system only<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> deal with particulate matter and generally don\u2019t affect gas (although air purifier that increase room air changes should, in theory, dissipate the gas faster).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The other preventative action you can take to lower your exposure is to wear preventative equipment such as gloves or protective eyewear. Similar to the problems of the air purifier, this equipment, at a residential grade, will not protect you directly from any gasses. They will protect you from have the disinfectants remain on your skin and hands from any future eye or mouth touching, reducing your long term exposure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And of course, wash your hands after use. <\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f249b2a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f249b2a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4f4b4fb\" data-id=\"4f4b4fb\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02104fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"02104fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What are Viable Alternatives to Chemical Disinfection?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7790167 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7790167\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At this point, you may not want to use disinfectants anymore, but even with all my knowledge from working at illumiPure, I still need to use them from time to time and that\u2019s okay. What I am able to do, is use additional technology to minimize my use of chemical disinfectants in my home and at our office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here\u2019s what it looks like:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We start with a UV-based surface disinfection. At illumiPure, we of course use our Clean White\u2122 solution. And we don\u2019t just use it because it\u2019s ours, we use it because of our patented 405+470 wavelength solution ensures we get the natural LED light replicates sunlight, helping us stay alert and focused, with the safest bands of blue bands like that have been proven to kill even the most resistant pathogens. UV light is scientifically proven to remove surface and air particles in a consistent way, and it happens in minutes when used properly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We also have our Air Guardian\u2122 in place to make sure that we\u2019re safe. In the last paragraph, we talked about how air purifiers aren\u2019t effective against gas; now let\u2019s talk about why they are effective. Most pathogens may start on surfaces, but in order to affect you, they often become aerosolized (go airborne). The Air Guardian will continuously take these particles out of the room and replace them with clean air, meaning that the overall need for disinfectants decreases.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That doesn\u2019t mean that when I spill my soda on the table (which happens more than I\u2019d care to admit), I wait for nature to take its course, I grab a disinfectant, but there are plenty of safe alternatives. For instance, vinegar and baking soda are natural alternatives that can be used in several instances. In fact, the EPA has developed a whole list of environmentally safe alternatives that you can find <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/saferchoice\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">here.<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is why illumiPure recommends a multi-layered approach to disinfecting and purifying your home or office. To ensure the highest level of safety for you and your family, layers of protection that minimize human error must be developed. In our case, surface disinfection, air purification, and natural disinfectants do the trick.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1697a41 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1697a41\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>To Learn More About illumiPure Products, Click Below.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-abaf876 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"abaf876\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/illumipure.com\/products\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Learn More<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like so many of you, at 18, I moved out independently and had to learn to clean for myself.
