the, i'm david and this is climate change, brags it happiness in 3 books. this is the book for you. to get smarter for free. you book a recent study showed 85 percent of the world's population, things having a clean home is important. so there's a lot of cleaning going on. youtube is full of tips on how to bring out the sparkle in your home. often with modern cleaning agents and global study, 3 quarters of those floor by these chemical power. how this could over time aggressive cleaning agents called respiratory systems. and then the only threat in the welcome to in good shape the health show on the
11:31 am
w and in the course of a lifetime. 350 tons of air pass through our lungs. we also have all the pollutants contained in the air outside. it's the emissions from industry and traffic that affect our health, but in the home, other dangerous traditional cooking with wood or cow poisons the air as much as the smoke cigarettes. the world health organization says 3800000 people die every year from the effects of using those cooking fuel. but the air in modern houses isn't clean either. toxic fumes at home or lungs may be released by installation, global furniture or cleaning agents. the goose and family recently bought new furniture and has had problems with it. ever since in the tish the table was
11:32 am
extremely smelly. even the smell is horrible. and so the whole apartment smelled if you left the door open to this crystal, none of my furniture still thinks that us cannot some. and of course, since its furniture in the kids room, i wonder what's that like health wise for the kids? food as can the parents are unsettled? what if there is something dangerous floating in the air they breathe? they spend 2 thirds of the day in their apartment, the groove and family called in an expert christian take. it is a chemist and indoor air expert. he immediately gets started with his investigation . a 1st impression becomes a hunch, and then he discovers the furniture's unprotected particle board.
11:33 am
that that could mean the dresser is new, right? the bed to that you probably bought the laminate recently too. right? let's focus on the shaft chinese. it couldn't be formaldehyde. formaldehyde is a pungent smelling gas that you find in the cigarette smoke and disinfectant. there could actually be from aldehyde in here. not some off. do the chemicals from laminate or furniture off gas into the indoor air. the expert gets to the bottom of it. i'm going to set up my device so we can measure the formaldehyde in here. we have information regarding the amount of a pollutant in the air determines whether it's harmful to a person's health. but the effect of those pollutants indoors is different for each individual because everyone has different reactions to them.
11:34 am
in higher concentrations, formaldehyde can lead to allergies and headache, irritate, mucous membranes, and even cause cancer. furniture and floors are not the only sources of indoor pollutants, even seemingly harmless items release chemicals into the indoor air, nail polish nail polish remover. a lot of cosmetics have acetone in them. among other things on an answer turn is a very strong sod, and that makes it so popular and the centered sticks in these are solvent. these are volatile, organic compounds in irritate mucous membranes. they can cause headache, this is hazardous waste, please don't buy anything like this. anymore and in the interest of the children don't put the indoor air with solvents, but new shoes or cleaning agents can also limit solvents. some substances interact with each other and become
11:35 am
a toxic cocktail that can be very harmful to one's health. the experts also measures the proportion of solvents in the rooms air using modern technology. but cook gentiva has brought along another sleuth. one yes. my plan is i'm going to search key rooms in your apartment with the mold sniffing dogs . and then i can give you more information about whether you have hidden mold damage associated with the musty smell. if we breathe in mold spores, it can trigger allergies irritate our respiratory tract and even damage the lungs. so roja has a big responsibility. delusions had water damage in their bathroom 3 years ago. they thought the affected areas dried well. but was it well enough?
11:36 am
one, you know, doesn't miss a thing? me well, you didn't find anything just a negligible amount around the bath tub. the draining the bath tub is often dry and has a musty smell. she indicated the washing machine, but these are all levels that we can tolerate. will give the all the or about the mold and most of the smells. so there's nothing there. good job was 2 weeks later, the results of the indoor air measurements are in formaldehyde was indeed detected in the children's room, but the concentration is low. nevertheless, our expert advises the grievance not to buy any more new furniture for the time being applied to the right of the 2nd tip i can give, which is quite an important one is to ventilate. the formula is to air the room out or the quick intense burst. when you 1st come home, you open the windows, then open the balcony doors to form
11:37 am
a little draft that will clear out any bad air that accumulated during the morning for might. and those who are particularly sensitive and should my furniture and clothing, 2nd hand, and use cleaning products and cosmetics sparingly. anything change or necessary chemicals, like these franklin sticks and like, don't even buy those products anymore. because ultimately, it's about the sum of all the harmful substances in our indoor air. and it's some that we can influence ourselves with. the tiny spoon know can be found in the air almost everywhere. they only become visible when they find the right breeding ground to set loans where they can build cold. my celia say you can make new sport which then released into the air. the some mold are used in food production. they needed to achieve light coming back for some other them. not mouldy. food isn't healthy and shouldn't be eaten because most, most of poisonous,
11:38 am
sometimes molded on ceilings and walls, and it's difficult to get rid of moral, not in today's interview. an uninvited ugly guest that loves to set up shop in the corners and on the window sills of your home most crow every bit. it's enough to vote to non has over 10 years experience researching how fungal sport fester inside buildings. basically if you have water damages in the building or, or you produce a lot of moist air in the building, then you might soon out later get also some will 1st barely visible. the mold will multiply to form larger black patches, unpleasant and unsightly, but just how big a health risk does mold pose mode. it's an important part of our echo system and
11:39 am
therefore also basically everywhere. also in our, in the air, we can always find some small concentrations of more sports whether they become a health risk. it depends on different aspects. so how big is the mold infestation? how long is the time spent in more the indoors and how sensitive are the people? so what causes most, when moist air comes into contact with a cold surface, the moisture forms into condensation. an ideal breeding ground for fungal spores. once they've settled on those surfaces, they grow rapidly with potentially dangerous consequences for our health, damp air, and moly indo is associated with different kinds of diseases off the respiratory system such a school or we need to use and small,
11:40 am
but they're also on specific symptoms that kind of fuel by people that are in moly, in dos, these can be more receptive or electric backgrounds where is mold most common motor, prefers dams and also quite warm. so it might be possible that you have more mode problems in regions or areas where you have high air moister. however, it depends also on the sensitivity of the people how they react. so we also have a different kind of reactions and sensitivity is the bathroom is down and conduct. patient is fairly prevalent in the kitchen too, which is why frequent airing is crucial. ideally once every hour.
11:41 am
but what options are there when the mold is already present? if you already have mold in your home, or you can just remove the small things by yourself. if you all her healthy person, i don't belong to a risk called like people. however, if you have a pico stains or you see that the more it's not only on the surface, then you shouldn't remove it by yourself. then you should contact an expert to prevent moles from developing in the 1st place. make sure you let off the moisture in your apartment several times a day. in warm and humid regions. it's best to do that in the evening and during cold months. keep your home nice and warm. not every home small, but there's no way to get around dust around 6 milligrams of dust fall on to every
11:42 am
square meter of our home every day. after a week it gets to be so much so we can finally see it. this is what dust looks like under the microscope. it's a veritable cocktail of substances. steph, and let's explain, specializes in environmental medicine. this causes some, it's a collection of organic and non organic particles and for one thing the human body produces does that make tiny flakes of skin that the body said. so as wireless hair, it could also be carpet fibers. it can be abrasion from a stone floor. it can be tire, abrasion from traffic or residue from a fire. it comes from up the front. so it's any number of things, but it always puts as it guns, few sheets. dust is mostly not bad fuel health. people have an allergic reaction to the pollen or the dust mice contained in household duct that can cause watery eyes
11:43 am
and in severe cases even shortness of breath or asthma ah, disk appli has a dust ology. she was diagnosed with a 2 year ago. the 5 year olds is one of 16000000 people who suffer from allergies in europe alone. the cause of the dust allergy as the tiny dust mite which lifts them feeds on dustin holmes. the electric response happens when we inhaled my species up to 10000000 mites can live in a single bad. ah, dr. stephan charge explains why the tiny creatures like bad so much. the better so attractive for the death might because a their main source of food are dead. skin can be found there and be the environment is so good. would be awesome if you're going to court. the bed is warm and it has a certain basic moisture because we're sweating into it constantly. because it's an
11:44 am
excellent environment for the mites to feel at home in what was under her for me. rude, interesting. that the more food often the allergy isn't immediately diagnosed. her mother recalls that that was the case of the 1st symptoms of the dust allergy with it because i hear plain and sometimes from a fuss of time was i if she had runny nose and a scratchy throat and, and we just thought it was a normal cold, now the dust that's in a normal capital one and then we went to an ear, nose, and throat specialist. and because my husband has allergies to the doctor did a blood test, then she was able to determine that it was infected dust allergy type. this is and host a simple allergy test can provide the necessary information, various allergens, scratched into the patient's skin. if a red rush forms that means an allergy as present,
11:45 am
the allergy should be treated as quickly as possible. and also the worst dust allergies can lead to add. and when the allergy changes, level in the mix comp, the stuff he knows and the sneezing, then inflame the air passages one does of the the nasal passage. inflammation then moves to the lungs of the will, perceived this because parents wanted to prevent the serious effect. so they changed the housekeeping routine. he had filed on me and t doctor 1st recommended doing a bedroom clean out my highest tibet encasing all 3 bed. hazing the pillows and blankets as well as mattresses. to make it in half middle for the might move for english to the the casings. prevent the might so messy. sees from reaching this office. the bed sheets need to be changed every week or 2 and washed at 60 degrees celsius. for best to kill ation,
11:46 am
the beds are on legs and remain uncovered during the day. on going off in general, you have to avoid flush things such as cuddly, blankets, heavy curtains and carpet. those things should be removed from the whole house, or never even brought in 400. now that the household is less conducive to dust mites because symptoms have improved if they ever recover their nasal spray and i dropped as well as until logic medications that can help. they may alleviate the symptoms, but they can't kill the allergy. versus it's the only real therapy is so called hypo sensitization. today we would say specific immunotherapy, like basically you introduce the oxygen to the body so that the body can get accustomed to it. and in that way the reaction stops. that's the goal of those.
11:47 am
to take away is that if you're allergic to the mice, you should make sure they don't even get a foothold, recognize the symptoms early on. so you won't suffer westlake me and now it's time for our digital consultation. you is on the question and doctors, scientists, and therapist answer them. roger roy from india asks, kind of, i don't survive on milk and dairy products alone. no, you cannot survive a medical diary product alone. that would be thought one site that undeniably missing dairy products contain a range wise nutrition, important for certain periods of life, such sentence in growth. but even during growth, you need more than just so it is valuable. it's in addition to your diet, but not hello miss lacks a variety of essential trends which you need in order to maintain optimum just
11:48 am
completely deficient the some micro new trends, vitamins such as white them and see for example, or iron or fiber doesn't contain enough other essential trends. so no, you cannot keep good health or even survive its old age and make a loan. on the other hand, you can grow without drinking and do you have a question and write to us whether it's attrition, exercise research, or therapy in good shape or just send us a nail on the digital concentration. begin some love milk, others pages. but some people have an allergic reaction to the otherwise harmless protein. founding cow's milk. children in particular often have milk allergies. other common energy among food products,
11:49 am
eggs and beans. o. but one of the most dangerous allergies is triggered by the humble peanuts. for some people just picking up a seal pack of peanuts as unpleasant xander donhauser as a peanut allergy, eating one single not could have fatal consequences and has managed soon i get this tingling, itchy sensation and my throat and my tongue. then i have difficulty breathing and swallowing, sometimes even severe stomach cramps, nausea and feinting, cause love, call up. other types of knots can also make life more unpleasant as honeywell cock nose. when has missed it again. if i've eaten with hazel nuts, i get symptoms immediately. care between my esophagus and my mouth. you get this tingling of the worst bit. it's the contraction. it feels like you're being strangled option you and peanuts are among the most common average, inducing foods. the slightest amount can trigger
11:50 am
a severe reaction. can be found hidden away in all manner of products including some you might not expect when it comes to the dangers of not allergies. knute buckle is an expert diverse and form and out. no. so like peanut allergy symptoms happen very quickly within a few at once. in typically tingling and swelling in the mouth area when there are more severe manifestations such as difficulty breathing or an allergic shock which can be fatal to income. for those affected, the anxiety follows them everywhere. xandra washes her hands thoroughly before every meal due to the fear of contamination. when she arrives at a friend's for dinner, she 1st cleans the dishes and cutlery cantina come mister canteen as a risk sown. and i can't just go to any baker's a restaurant. vacations are also always difficult and require a lot of advance planning on for how it affects everyday life. like when you're out
11:51 am
and about and simply want to grab a bite from time at last. so as calls mesh to one situation turned into a nightmare. when she suffered an animal active shock on vacation, evidently caused by traces of peanuts in the hotel restaurant buffet, the 25 year old always has an emergency kit on her for future. incidence in includes adrenalin anti allergy, medication and cortisone. following that event, xandra wanted to find out just how extreme or allergy is. it can be measured by checking the level of antibodies produced by the immune system in response to specific proteins in the peanut. patients can also undergo a provocation test, performed by a doctor in which they consume increasing amounts of peanut pool will consume test in the strictly control provocation that has the patient has given
11:52 am
a dose of peanut initially very small, which has been increasing kleinman. and i'm 1st to show that there is a peanut allergy by using the 2nd to determine the threshold at which the patient starts to react. yeah, potentially, yet it's important for a patient to know whether they have to avoid even traces of peanut fun atlas. mine was what i missed in was case the test did reveal a severe allergy with no therapy as such available. the only option she has is state theory of peanuts and she can learn how to do that from nutrition. stephen brown, 1st to study the food packaging, guns, mystic, it's vital that you read before you eat. in the case of mrs. done house, our food labeled as may contain traces of peanuts absolutely off limits. because that trace is not defined. several, we know they might be one entire peanut in there some way. it's also reassuring
11:53 am
when a manufacturer does declare traces of anything done, they think is best of death path homes. my warnings about traces good as such as may contain traces of dairy or eggs for me, as long as there's no peanut definitive in the atmosphere design, then we know it's a safe product for mrs. donhauser the hard to and how the company declares any traces and has an election management program in between. versus in xander, those case products labeled as turning other nuts are harmless because peanuts are actually a leg you not a not hun, you call also has to be vigilant about what he eats, even if it's not to the same degree as sandra donhauser too much income from the went out shopping, i really have to be careful that there are no pure hazel nuts in a product to come and check on the back of the pack. whether they have snuck something in them. plus i always prepare my own loosely mix. i see,
11:54 am
and what is chocolate? i can't have anything with the whole not this. but i'm now much more careful when buying food. coffee on a few because trying coffee. honey o does not react to nuts that have been heated, such as in sandwich spreads or cakes. unlike those with a peanut allergy sign up the man apples. as a primary peanut allergy protein triggered the reaction i have stable hit with a pollen associated food energy. the allergens are heat, lay bottles, the lobby that may as process products can be east and frequently. whereas for people with a primary peanut allergy, even process products are an absolute no, no. hon. you're does have him to eat a pure hazelnut anti allergy. medication will ensure he's okay. he's also begun hypo sensitization therapy. something those allergic to peanuts can only dream of. it's not infancy. there's intensive research and we expect hypo sensitization to become established in the near future. good. as is other things that said,
11:55 am
the majority of patients will not enjoy 100 percent tolerant. polar runs getting the utmost and steam, and then they'll tolerate high level and no longer have to be wary of traces of peanut and the most of positives. so in the meantime, xanda will be staying on her guard, which is why she prefers cooking her own meals. after all, you can never be too careful and know how about a little exercise. he's a tip. fitness trainer vivian. let's execute the court. you ben, you nice as you were sitting on a chair. go don't hold briefly and straighten up again.
