Chemicals likely come from a range of sources,so it is not always clear how to reduce people’s exposure,according to Dr.Rebecca Altman,the lead researcher on the new study.“However,” she said,“there are still measures people can take.”
In the original study,she noted,women were given advice based on the particular chemicals they were exposed to—such as using fragrance-free washing liquid and personal-care products.
For the current study,Altman and her colleagues interviewed two dozen women who’d taken part in the previous study to see how they would react to information about their household chemical exposures.They found that the women were generally surprised at the range of chemicals found in their homes and bodies.They were also surprised that even some banned things were found.
With many questions about the health effects of household chemicals unanswered,some experts worry that giving people information about their everyday exposures will cause unnecessary fear.However,the researchers found that the women in their study were typically not alarmed,and instead wanted “more rather than less” information on the issue.
1.Which of the following statements about chemicals in household products is TRUE?
A.Some of them have bad effects on health,while some have good effects.
B.Long-term exposure to them is certain to cause a deadly illness.
