Is it toxic to spray flower dew water in a room?
Generally speaking, whether spraying perfume in a room is toxic depends on the amount used. If excessive amounts of perfume are sprayed, there may be potential toxicity; however, if only a small amount is used and the room is well-ventilated by opening windows, it usually does not cause harm. The detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Yes (Potential toxicity)
Spraying large amounts of perfume indoors may lead to poisoning. Excessive use can result in high concentrations of perfume components in the air. This creates an irritating gas that may reduce olfactory sensitivity and induce nasal discomfort, causing symptoms such as sneezing and runny nose. Moreover, since the main ingredients of perfume are 75% alcohol and 5% fragrance, individuals who are allergic to alcohol should avoid using it.
2. No (Low risk)
Perfume sprayed indoors is typically diluted with water and present at very low concentrations, making it nearly non-toxic. Therefore, if only a small amount is sprayed and the room is promptly ventilated by opening windows, it generally will not cause poisoning.
If a person experiences discomfort after spraying perfume, it is recommended to seek medical attention at a hospital promptly to avoid delaying treatment.
