Take My Breath Away: Cleaning products and asthma

Posted by Staff on August 22, 2024 - 8:03am

Songwriters Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock won both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for the Best Original Song in 1986. Take My Breath Away was written for the movie Top Gun and was sung by the group Berlin.

Asthma can take your breath away, but can cleaning products cause more problems?

Asthma is a common long-term disease that causes inflammation and swelling of the airways. This results in the narrowing of the airways, which can cause a person to struggle with breathing. Asthma may cause them to wheeze, cough or have tightness in their chest.

Over 27 million people in the United States have asthma, which is about every 1 in 12 people. Asthma can cause breathing problems for people even when doing simple everyday activities such as cleaning. Some household cleaning products, such as bleach, ammonia-based cleaners and even cleaners labeled as organic, can cause a person’s asthma to flare up.
