Commonly Used

Products
Deodorant

Deodorant is used to prevent body odor. The sweat in

our body does not really have a smell. It becomes
stinky when bacteria gather on the sweaty part of the skin.
Deodorant contains an aluminum compound that clogs the
sweat glands to temporarily stop the secretion of sweat. On the
bad side, the aluminum compound in deodorants
can cause skin irritation and other allergic reactions.

Toothpaste

Toothpaste is a gel or a paste used to clean teeth and make

them stronger. We brush our teeth with toothpaste three times a day.
This prevents us from having bad breath and other mouth problems
like tooth decay, plaque, and gum diseases. Toothpaste has fluoride,
a mineral that helps strengthen the teeth and helps prevent tooth
decay.
Fluoride, however, when swallowed especially in large
amounts, can cause poisoning.
Vinegar

Vinegar is a sour liquid condiment used for cooking. It has acetic

acid that gives it a sour taste.
Acetic acid is also used to treat ear infections because it has
antifungal and antibacterial properties. It can also be used to
remove dirt and stains.
Although vinegar has many uses, its acetic acid component
can also be harmful. Acetic acid is corrosive. It can damage metals.

It can also damage teeth.

Detergents

Detergents are water-soluble cleansing agents used in washing

clothes and other fabric.
These products contain surfactants, the major component of cleaning
products that lower the surface tension of water. Surfactants also
serve as an emulsifier in removing dirt and oil on the surface of
fabrics and even in our skin.
While generally helpful, detergents can also have harmful effects on
consumers.
They can cause eye and skin irritations and can be toxic
when inhaled or swallowed.
A consumer product may cause harm to us
for two reasons:

1. is when we abuse or misuse such product.

2. is if a consumer product was made intended to cause

harm such as gun powder and poisons.
