AEROSOLS LINKED WITH BABY ILLNESS
Frequent use of household aerosol sprays could be making babies and pregnant women ill, according to British researchers. The study, reported in New Scientist magazine, said that “caution should be advised” on the use of aerosols or air fresheners more than once a week.
The team, based at Bristol University, say they have evidence linking the chemicals found in many sprays to headaches and depression in mothers, and to ear infections and diarrhoea in babies.
In a survey of 14,000 pregnant women, those who used aerosols and air fresheners most days suffered a quarter more headaches than those who used them less than once a week. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/435652.stm
