Salt Mine Sanatorium

Media_http1800recycli_gdzfr

A former salt mine in Ukraine, 300 metres below the surface, offers asthma and allergy sufferers what medicine cannot: relief. The starkly lit tunnels of the mine wind their way through a crust of underground mineral deposits. The air in these seemingly interminable subterranean passageways is replete with the salt particles once mined by workers. One might think the air in such a place would be harsh on the lungs of those miners but not so: the salt mine in fact has remarkable curative properties.

Green detergents can cause asthma

Montreal's public health department is warning school boards across the city not to use biodegradable cleaning products. Dr Louis Jacques said such products could cause allergic reactions in children. "Based on studies, these products can cause asthma, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and dermatitis. The most frequent health problem that was caused or aggravated by these products is asthma," Jacques said.
