Is cancer hiding in your home? Many findings over the last decade have revealed hidden cancer agents contained in the chemicals present in household products. Here are 7 products you need to think twice about keeping around.

1. Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder: In this common household product, TALC is the labeled ingredient that is a known carcinogenic, specifically a risk factor for ovarian cancer. It also irritates the lung. 

2. AJAX Bleach Cleaner: This popular sink and household cleaner, often comes in a powder form, has an ingredient in it known as CRYSTALLINE SILICA. This is also a known carcinogenic and can irritate the eyes, skin and lungs. 

3. Lysol Disinfectant Spray: Labeled or Unlabeled Toxic Ingredient:
ORTHOPHENYLPHENOL (OPP): Carcinogenic; irritant. (Carcinogenicity is denied in Material Safety and Data Sheet.)

4. Laundry Detergent: These are commonly loaded with extremely toxic chemicals. The residue from these chemicals are left on your clothes and absorbed by your skin and evaporated into the air where they could be breathed in. Ingredients to watch for include: 

• Linear alkyl sodium sulfonates (LAS) or ‘anionic surfactants’, carcinogenic, reproductive toxins
• Petroleum Distillates, carcinogenic, cause lung damage, lung inflammation and damage to mucous membranes.
• Phenols, toxic to central nervous system, heart, blood vessels, lungs and kidneys. 
• Sodium hypochlorite (household bleach): When it reacts with organic materials in the environment, carcinogenic and toxic compounds are created than can cause reproductive, endocrine and immune system disorders.

5. Air fresheners: Contain toxic chemicals napthelene and formaldehyde

6. Automotive supplies: Most are toxic. It's important to keep them safely away from your home and properly dispose of at a hazardous waste disposal center.

7. Flea, tick and lice control: Avoid lindane-based pesticides. 

New Research: Combination of Chemicals Makes Cancer Hidden Agents

174 scientists from 28 countries found that some common things we interact with daily could potentially could potentially cause cancer, when used in combination. The study published in the journal, Carcinogensis found that there are more potentially carcinogenic chemicals that should be on your radar. Scientists deemed that these chemicals aren't bad on their own but may interact with other chemicals that are unavoidable in our daily environment to produce a reaction that can increase your cancer risk. 

The products range from food, food packaging, pesticides, herbicides, household cleaners and more. Researchers stressed it's too early to draw conclusions and more studies are needed. 

Chemicals include:

Acetaminophen
This anti-inflammatory is commonly found in over-the-counter medications. A 2011 study found that chronic users of this painkiller are at a slightly increased risk of blood cancers.

Acrolein
We’re exposed to acrolein by inhaling smoke or car exhaust. It’s also formed when animal or vegetable fats and oils are heated at high temperatures.

Alloy particles (tungsten/nickel/ cobalt)
These are used in a range of products, from jewelry to ceramic glazes.

BPA
BPA is commonly found in plastic bottles and can liners, but many companies are moving away from its use.

Copper
Copper has many uses but its compounds can show up in fungicides and wood preservatives.

Diethylstilbestrol
Once used a growth hormone for meat, this is now used to treat incontinence in some animals.

Iron
Iron shows up in a range of products, including many building materials.

Lead
Lead can be found in building construction materials, some batteries, and weights, among other things.

Sodium selenite
This is commonly used to make colorless glass.

Nickel and nickel-derived compounds
These commonly show up in coins, stainless steel products, and rechargeable batteries.

Phthalates
These are widely used as plasticizers in consumer products such as building materials, toys, food packaging, cosmetics, and medical devices, but contaminated food is considered to be our biggest source of exposure.

Rotenone
This chemical is used as an insecticide and pesticide.

Triclosan
This controversial antibacterial and antifungal agent is found in some of our soaps and detergents.
