Common household disinfectants like bleach, hydrogen peroxide and alcohol   increase the risk of developing lung disease, regular exposure to these cleaning agents increases the risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD.

COPD is a group of lung conditions that cause breathing difficulties including emphysema, where there is damage to the air sacs in the lungs, or chronic bronchitis which is the long-term inflammation of the airways.

Disinfectants like glutaraldehyde, a strong disinfectant used for medical instruments, bleach, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol and quaternary ammonium compounds known as ‘quats’, used for low-level disinfection of surfaces such as floors and furniture are linked with COPD.

Breathing in the strong cleaning chemicals while using them can increase the risk. Working as a cleaner and using these disinfectants regularly increase the risk of COPD.
