Household Chemicals Linked to Neurological Disorders: New Study

A recent study has identified two common household chemicals, quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) and organophosphate flame retardants, as potentially harmful to brain health, with implications for conditions like multiple sclerosis and autism. Quats, found in products like disinfectants and body washes, were reported to cause the death of brain cells, while organophosphate flame retardants were found to hinder their maturation. The study highlights the need for further research and potential regulatory measures. This revelation prompts concerns about the use of these chemicals in household products and their potential impact on human health.
