Hohenstein Institute, a testing and certification body, is working on a textile coating that can neutralize toxic substances in cigarette smoke after reducing the risk of nicotine from clothing pfer.

The agency said the survey found that these harmful substances were attached to baby's body clothing, especially to children.

The researchers said, "

Third-hand smoke

"Nicotine and harmful substances in cigarette smoke deposit on the surface and clothing of cushions, carpets, curtains and other objects.

The concentration of toxic substances is much higher than that of black smoke emitted from the air, and these toxic particles after burning can also harm the human body through skin contact.

Scientists at Institute for Hygiene and Biotechnology, IHB, Hohenstein Institute, Germany, are trying to simulate the infant skin model and contact nicotine T-shirts. The results are the first to show.

Nicotine

The neurotoxin can penetrate deeper tissue layers through baby skin.

In addition, scientists made further experimental results on adult skin.

The results also showed that nicotine and other toxic substances would cause great damage to skin and nerve cells once they invaded the human body.
