It’s important to keep your home clean even after a disaster to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

After all, maintaining cleanliness at home doesn’t just help protect against external threats like infections and diseases, it also helps support your overall well-being.(h/t toLung.org) Commercial cleaning products often contain harmful chemicals

While cleaning products and disinfectants are useful and effective, it is best to avoid commercial products because many commercial cleaning supplies sold in stores can cause adverse effects, such as eye and throat irritation. They can even burn your skin.

Some products contain chemicals that also release volatile organic compounds, which can trigger allergic reactions, headaches and chronic respiratory problems.

Studies have also found that many cleaning products contain dangerous chemicals that have been found to cause serious health problems, such as liver damage and cancer.

If you want to protect your family from the harmful chemicals in commercial cleaning products, consider switching to an all-purpose non-toxic cleaner. How do commercial cleaning products affect your overall health?

A lot of commercial cleaning supplies and household products can irritate the eyes or throat, or cause headaches and other negative side effects.

Other common products may also release dangerous chemicals, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are chemicals that vaporize at room temperature.

Even natural fragrances like citrus can react to produce dangerous pollutants inside your home.

VOCs and other chemicals released when using cleaning supplies are linked to chronic respiratory problems, allergic reactions and headaches. Studies are being conducted to determine how these chemicals affect people with asthma and other respiratory illnesses.

Studies have also found links between exposure to chemicals from cleaning supplies to occupational asthma and other respiratory illnesses.

These are some of the cleaning supplies and household products that contain VOCs and other toxic substances: Aerosol spray products (e.g., beauty, health and cleaning products) Air fresheners Chlorine bleach Detergent and dishwashing liquid Dry cleaning chemicals Furniture and floor polish Oven cleaners Rug and upholstery cleaners

Do not combine bleach or any bleach-containing product with cleaners containing ammonia. The gases created from this combination can cause chronic breathing problems and even death. Avoiding harmful cleaning and household products

When buying products, always checklabels before you buy them.

Buy non-toxic products that do not contain VOCs, fragrances, irritants and flammable ingredients. Avoid using air fresheners at home.

Keep in mind that manufacturers are not obligated by U.S. law to list all ingredients in their consumer products. Additionally, products that are labeled “green” do not necessarily mean they are safer.

Research products from a reliable source. For asafer cleaning alternative, you can clean your home with warm water and soap.

Use baking soda as a natural ingredient for surfaces that need a good scrubbing. Combine a bit of vinegar and water to clean glass.

When using cleaning or household products at home, keep the area well-ventilated.Always open windows and doors when cleaning.

Helicopter carrying Hindu pilgrims crashes in India, killing seven people

A helicopter carrying Hindu pilgrims has crashed in India, killing seven people on board.

The accident happened within minutes of the helicopter taking off, officials said, on what should have been a 10-minute flight.

The helicopter was flying to Guptkashi, a prominent Hindu pilgrimage site in the Himalayas, from Kedarnath temple town in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand.

It comes three days after an Air India flight crashed less than a minute after taking off from Ahmedabad airport in northwestern India, killing at least 270 people.

The helicopter, which was operated by private helicopter service Aryan Aviation, went down in a forested area several miles from the Kedarnath pilgrimage route at around 5.30am local time.

Officials said the crash was believed to have been caused by poor weather conditions.

Authorities say they have launched a search and rescue operation and are expected to review operational protocols for flights in the region.

The dead include the pilot and pilgrims from the neighbouring state of Uttar Pradesh and western states of Maharashtra and Gujarat, according to officials. The bodies were badly burned in a fire that followed the crash, they said.

Tens of thousands of pilgrims visit Kedarnath, which is home to one of the four most sacred Hindu temple shrines, each summer. Many use helicopter services due to the difficult mountainous terrain.

Helicopter mishaps are not uncommon in the region, where sudden weather changes and high-altitude flying conditions can pose risks.

Earlier this month, a helicopter operating in the Kedarnath Valley made an emergency landing shortly after taking off on a highway due to a technical fault. The pilot was injured but all five passengers on board were unharmed.

In May, a helicopter crashed in Uttarkashi district, killing six people, including the pilot. One person survived.

Ohtani blasts two HRs to halt 10-game drought

LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani hit two homers in an 11-5 win over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night, emphatically ending the three-time MVP’s longest homer drought since joining the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Ohtani led off the bottom of the first with his 24th homer, hammering Landen Roupp‘s fourth pitch 419 feet deep into the right-field bleachers with an exit velocity of 110.3 mph.

The slugger had been in a 10-game homer drought since June 2, going 10-for-40 in that stretch with no RBIs, although he still had an eight-game hitting streak during his power outage.

Ohtani led off the sixth with his 25th homer, sending Tristan Beck‘s breaking ball outside the strike zone into the bleachers in right. He also moved one homer behind the Yankees’ Aaron Judge and Seattle’s Cal Raleigh for the overall major league lead.

Dodgers fans brought him home with a standing ovation as Ohtani produced his third multihomer game of the season and the 22nd of his career.

Ohtani reached base four times and scored three runs in his first four at-bats, drawing two walks to go with his two homers.

Ohtani hadn’t played in 10 straight games without hitting a homer since 2023 in the final 10 games of his six-year tenure with the Los Angeles Angels.

Ohtani had slowed down a bit over the past two weeks after he was named the NL Player of the Month for May with a formidable performance, racking up 15 homers and 28 RBIs.
