Toxic Household Chemical Linked to over 350,000 Heart Disease Deaths: What You Need to Know

Apr 29, 2025 | News

A recent NY Post article highlights a shocking discovery: exposure to common household chemicals known as quaternary ammonium compounds, or “quats,” may be linked to over 350,000 deaths from heart disease in the U.S. every year. Found in a wide range of products—from disinfectants to personal care items—quats are known for their strong disinfecting properties but have now been shown to potentially contribute to cardiovascular inflammation and health risks, even with low-level, long-term exposure.

This research serves as a crucial reminder for all of us to reconsider the products we use in our homes. While quats have been widely used for their effectiveness in killing germs, their health impact is now drawing serious concern.

Fortunately, safer alternatives are available. Healthy Homes’ ALL-Clean is a non-toxic, quat-free cleaner that uses plant-based ingredients to effectively clean your home without compromising your health.
