If you or someone in your household suffers from asthma, you most likely take steps to help avoid an attack. You most likely already have your own comprehensive list of do's and don't's when it comes to your asthma, but there's something else you may want to add to that list: Stop using household spray cleaners.
An international longitudinal study discovered a link between common household cleaning sprays to an increased risk of asthma attack in adults. The researchers found that using household spray cleaners as infrequently as once a week is enough to raise the risk of an asthma attack by 76 percent. What's more, the risk became even greater if cleaning sprays were used more frequently than that.
Play it safe by switching to liquid cleaning products rather than aerosols, asthma experts say. If there's any difference in cleaning, it's a small sacrifice to be made in terms of protecting your respiratory health.

一份健康证报告
如果你或你的家人患有严重的哮喘，你应该采取最大的措施以避免它的发生。 你应该列出一个全面的清单，指出当你患有哮喘时应该做什么，不应该做什么，另外你还要把这条加进去：停止使用家庭清洁喷雾剂。
一个国际性研究机构发现在成年人之间哮喘发病和使用家庭清洁喷雾剂两者之间的关系。研究人员指出，在一周里偶尔使用一次家庭喷雾剂足以使哮喘的发病率增加76％。更重要的是，如果我们更频繁地使用家庭清洁喷雾剂，患病风险变得更大。
哮喘专家说，用液体清洁剂替代气雾剂，两者在清洁方面存在一些不同，但是液体清洁剂以较小的代价保护我们呼吸健康。
