New research reported by ScienceDaily warns that the citrus-like 'fresh clean' scent from household cleaning products can produce large numbers of airborne nanoparticles indoors. Scientists say these tiny particles, formed when fragrance chemicals react with ozone, may be inhaled deeply into the lungs, raising questions about the health effects of regular cleaning in poorly ventilated homes.
