Five common household items may pose health risks if misused, potentially leading to hormonal disruption, respiratory issues, and increased risk of cancer and neurological diseases. These items include plastic containers, air fresheners, strong cleaning agents, non-stick pans, and insecticides. Improper use, such as microwaving food in plastic or mixing cleaning chemicals, can release harmful substances.
