The jungle of harmful substances in consumer goods is almost impenetrable and you have to be an expert to keep track of it all. Pollutants trigger diseases such as cancer and allergies. Children of toddler age are particularly at risk, but adults are also exposed to harmful emissions every day.
The most frequently used harmful substances in living materials include formaldehyde (often used in adhesives) and phthalates, better known as plasticizers. They are mainly used to make plastics flexible. Phenols and cresols are also problematic - they are effective against bacteria and molds and are often used as disinfectants and to preserve adhesives. But they are also harmful substances that affect health.
