A new study reveals that a common household chemical, when exposed to high temperatures, can produce toxic fumes that pose serious health risks. Researchers found that the compound—widely used in cleaning products and personal care items—breaks down under heat, releasing gases linked to respiratory irritation and potential long-term damage. The findings raise concerns about improper storage and disposal methods, particularly in environments where temperatures frequently rise. Experts warn that even everyday items like air fresheners and detergents may contribute to indoor air pollution under certain conditions.
