4. Poorly cleaned humidifiers
Without regular cleaning, humidifiers can harbor bacteria and mold, including harmful species that are released directly into the air and inhaled.
Prevention: Change water daily and clean the unit every few days using vinegar or a mild disinfectant.
3. Scented paraffin candles
Burning paraffin releases compounds such as benzene and formaldehyde, which contribute to arterial inflammation and plaque formation in blood vessels.
Healthier choice: Use beeswax or coconut wax candles and ensure good ventilation.
2. Thermal receipt paper
Many receipts contain BPA, which is easily absorbed through the skin. Higher exposure levels have been linked to high blood pressure, insulin resistance, and abdominal fat gain.
Advice: Choose digital receipts when possible and wash hands after handling paper receipts.
