Ftalatos e retardadores de incêndio (a evitar)

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/sep/14/toxic-chemicals-household-dust-health-cancer-infertility

Citando:
"Among them is the flame retardant TDCIPP that is known to be cancer-causing and is frequently found in furniture foam, baby products and carpet padding, as is TPHP, another flame retardant in the top 10 list that can affect the reproductive and nervous systems.

“They are just a bunch of letters – a lot of people might not recognise what those chemicals are, or what they mean, but they are really a number of bad actor chemicals,” said Singla.

Other toxic substances found in almost all of the dust samples include chemicals known as phthalates that are often found in vinyl flooring, food packaging, personal care products and have been linked to developmental problems in babies, hormone disruption, and are also thought to affect the reproductive system."

Qualidade do ar e impacto no sono estudados

http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/807548/insomnia-sleepless-cant-sleep-cause-air-pollution

Citando:
"People living in areas with raised nitrogen dioxide were found to be up to 60% more likely to suffer from sleep deprivation than those living in areas with lower pollution levels.

The study, involving 1,863 people, suggests the impact of air pollution on the respiratory and central nervous system ultimately has an effect on how well people sleep.

Martha Billings, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Washington and the study's lead author, said: "Prior studies have shown that air pollution impacts heart health and affects breathing and lung function, but less is known about whether air pollution affects sleep.""
