Excuse for not cleaning? Modern cleaning products can pollute your home like the traffic on your street

A study presented at the American Chemical Society revealed that modern cleaning products, especially scented ones, can significantly pollute indoor air. The research found that activities such as mopping floors, spraying countertops, or cleaning surfaces cause rapid increases in ultrafine particle concentrations, resulting from the reaction between fragrance compounds and ozone present in the air. Researchers tested conventional products and botanical-based disinfectants in controlled residential environments, including an experimental house equipped with air quality measurement sensors.
