English to Portuguese: Doctors say hospitals should ban perfumes General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical: Health Care
Source text - English Doctors in Canada have called for a ban on the use of perfumes and aftershaves in hospitals and clinics. They say the chemicals in the scents can trigger asthma and allergies. Research shows that over half of asthma attacks are caused by irritants such as powerful smells. Besides perfumes and aftershaves, these can include cigarette smoke, cleaning fluids and other strong fragrances and odours. Dr Ken Flegel and Dr James Martin of McGill University in Canada wrote about the dangers of smells in hospital in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. They said: "Hospital environments free from artificial scents should become a uniform policy, promoting the safety of patients, staff and visitors alike."

Eles alegam que as substâncias nos cheiros podem disparar asma e alergias. Uma pesquisa mostra que metade dos ataques de asma são causadas por irritadores como cheiros fortes. Além de perfumes e loções pós-barbas, também pode ser incluídos fumaça de cigarro, produtos de limpeza e outras fragâncias e odores fortes. Os médicos Ken Flegel e James Martin da McGill University no Canadá escreveram sobre os perigos dos cheiros no hospital no Jornal da Associação Canadense de Medicina. Eles disseram: "Ambientes hospitalares livres de cheiros artificais deveriam se tornar uma política uniforme, promovendo a segurança dos pacientes, equipe e visitantes".
