According to this documentary there are seem to be too many unregulated chemical substances around all household items which consumer is not even aware of what went in there, how poisonous is etc., and lack of oversight regarding those materials. The movie also relates whether increasing level of cancers in recent years also has something to do with this.

Is there a link? This is why most household cleaners and such recommended using gloves. I agree, there are certain cleaning products I will not use, due to strong odor.

There are more ways to get info on a product than ever, any lack of oversight is due to consumer ignorance/laziness.

Most household cleaning can be done with a combination of vinegar and baking soda. There is really little need to have a cabinet full of toxic chemicals. Though there are a few jobs that require some specialty products, but those are the exception not the norm.

Default Hold Your Breath - Longer

"Nanotechnology dangers, however, are not limited to what we are unknowingly putting into our systems. They also include nano-substances that are being deliberately placed there. One of the foremost of these is nanoblood, also known as respirocytes.

The respirocyte was developed by nano-theorist Robert Freitas and essentially acts as a super-blood cell. It is an artificial, nano-engineered substance that functions like a red blood cell but also gives its host superior abilities because it is made of pure diamond, which enables it to withstand unnaturally high pressure.

It has been estimated that because of the superior performance made possible by its rigid diamond shell, 5 cubic millimeters of respirocytes could replace all the blood in your body.

Those 5 cubic millimeters would also do a better job than your 5.6 liters. Putting large amounts of respirocytes into the body would enable you to hold your breath for hours or sprint for 15 minutes straight. It can improve any natural human function a million times over, extending our ability to see, smell, react, stay awake, and reproduce."

"This includes not only the aforementioned example with the earthworm, but also the fact that nanoparticles could “piggyback” on bacteria and protozoa that naturally occur in our food sources. (Have you ever looked at your bologna or your hot dog under a microscope?) We would then be ingesting these particles in large numbers. Since a nanoparticle could be a molecular manifestation of almost any element, including poisons, this is a very serious consideration."

"Given the paucity of ENM specific information for these MSDS and a lack of knowledge on the nano-sized toxicity of these substances, it is difficult to conclude that the MSDS are adequate for hazard identification purposes."

This is not related to cleaning products. As said in the movie, it can be your bed frame, drawers, furnitures, sheets, clothing etc.,
Paid 12.99$ to buy through vimeo
