These Chemicals in hair dye can Trigger Cancer

A type of chemical substances contained in hair dye used millions of women suspected triggers of cancer.

These substances if it reacts with pollutants in the air will be carcinogenic.

The warning was delivered the research team from the United Kingdom. Chemical substances in permanent hair dye can react with pollutants in the air. Not only hair dye in the salon that needs to be controlled, but also hair dyes that can be used at home.

Harmful chemicals that are known to the secondary amine that can enter into the skin the hair and settled in for a week until a month after the hair dye used.

During this time, nitrosamines are known to trigger cancers are already banned in cosmetic ingredients in the United Kingdom. Drug and food supervisory agency of USA (FDA) also has issued rules since 1979 that any cosmetics containing nitrosamines is forbidden.

However, according to a team of scientists from Green Chemicals PLC who published his findings in the journal Materials, nitrosamines can be easily established by simple chemical reactions.

Secondary amine in hair dye, for example, will react on the pollutants in the air that come from cigarette smoke or exhaust fumes for quite some time will form a N-nitrosamines, i.e. substances which are highly toxic and carcinogenic.

"At this stage we are not sure yet how many N-nitrosamines are formed, but it is already clear that substance is very dangerous," said Professor David Lewis, one of the researchers.

He added, for the benefit and safety of the consumer supposed to do independent research to find out the level of toxin in the components and their side effects.

The spokesman mentioned the harmful potential of Green Chemicals from secondary amines in hair dye for this often ignored. In fact, several studies have also been hooking between hair dye and cancer and allergies.

Respond to tersbeut, George Hammer, owner of Urban Retreats in Harrods, the world's largest beauty salon, chemical industry issued a fund large enough to cover such issues.
