Are household cleaning sprays and air fresheners to blame for the high rates of asthma across Europe?

Asthma blamed on cleaning sprays and air fresheners - Independent

Extract:

"Household cleaning sprays and air fresheners could be to blame for the high rates of asthma across Europe.

Use of the sprays on a regular basis increased the risk of developing the disease by between 30 to 50 per cent, a study of 3,500 people in 10 European countries including the UK has found. Even occasional use as little as once a week increased the risk. Air fresheners, furniture sprays and glass cleaners were found to have the strongest effect. Liquid cleaners and polishes had no effect.

The findings come from the European Community Respiratory Health Survey, one of the world's largest studies of lung disease. They are published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.

Previous research has shown that professional cleaners have increased rates of asthma but it is the first time that domestic cleaning has also been shown to create a risk."

Cutting down on salt/sodium intake can reduce asthmatic symptoms.
