Chemicals discovered in hand sanitizers, typical glues, furniture textiles, and household disinfectants can possibly damage supporting cells in the brain during critical developmental stages, as per a new study.<\/div>\n

Molecular biologist Erin Cohn from Case Western Reserve University, together with colleagues, was able to identify two chemical classes that kill or halt oligodendrocyte cell maturation in a lab setting by beginning with 1,823 compounds of mysterious toxicity present in the environment, according to The Science Times.<\/p>\n

Oligodendrocytes are support cells that wrap neurons to produce an insulating covering.<\/p>\n

Out of the two identified chemical classes, one were quaternary compounds used in hand sanitizers, disinfectant sprays, wipes, and other personal care products like mouthwash and toothpaste.<\/p>\n

The other chemical compound class was organophosphates, which serve as flame retardants and can be found in glues, textiles, and other household items, such as electronics and furniture.<\/p>\n

Organophosphates can be absorbed into the skin and potentially reach the brain, since they are fat-soluble compounds.<\/p>\n

The levels of a particular flame retardant by analysing levels of BDCIPP, a flame retardant metabolite, were also looked by the team of Cohn.<\/p>\n

Gathered In the National Health and Nutrition Examination survey of the CDC between 2013 and 2018, they found it among urine samples of children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
