Synthetic fragrance compounds have become a ubiquitous part of household cleaning products and personal care agents. To improve aesthetics, fragrances are added, but the current research has unveiled detrimental effects of these odorous compounds. The exposure to the synthetic fragrances and musks, which are produced in quantities of thousands of tons per year, has been shown to elicit several pathologies. The fragrance compounds are regarded as toxins by the human immune system, and to eliminate them, cytochrome enzymes, especially aromatases, are overexpressed. These enzymes also convert androgens into estrogens, but excess estrogen production affects the endocrine system in both males and females. Although the estrogenic properties of cosmetics are increasingly being proven, the link between fragrance compounds and a wide variety of modern lifestyle diseases is not known to the majority of the public. It is increasingly being evident that all diseases have common roots, i.e., inflammation. The unprecedented prevalence of diabetes, obesity, cancer, and depression, among others pathologies, is tied to the limitless usage of fragrance compounds. Therefore, it is important to further investigate the dangers associated with fragrance compounds, to inform the regulatory bodies to allow them to better control manufacturers, and to alert consumers. This article is directed for facilitation of that objective.

当下的需要：提高对恶毒香水和合成麝香的认识

合成香料化合物已成为家庭清洁产品和个人护理剂中无处不在的一部分。为了改善美观，添加了香料，但目前的研究已经揭示了这些有气味的化合物的有害影响。接触到每年生产数千吨的合成香料和麝香，已被证明会引发多种疾病。香味化合物被人体免疫系统视为毒素，为了消除它们，细胞色素酶，尤其是芳香酶，会过度表达。这些酶也将雄激素转化为雌激素，但过多的雌激素会影响男性和女性的内分泌系统。尽管越来越多地证明化妆品的雌激素特性，大多数公众并不知道芳香化合物与各种现代生活方式疾病之间的联系。越来越明显的是，所有疾病都有共同的根源，即炎症。糖尿病、肥胖症、癌症和抑郁症等疾病的空前流行与香料化合物的无限使用有关。因此，重要的是进一步调查与香味化合物相关的危险，通知监管机构让他们更好地控制制造商，并提醒消费者。本文旨在促进该目标的实现。除其他病症外，与香料化合物的无限使用有关。因此，重要的是进一步调查与香料化合物相关的危险，通知监管机构让他们更好地控制制造商，并提醒消费者。本文旨在促进该目标的实现。除其他病症外，与香料化合物的无限使用有关。因此，重要的是进一步调查与香味化合物相关的危险，通知监管机构让他们更好地控制制造商，并提醒消费者。本文旨在促进该目标的实现。
