Explanation:
Although naphthalene balls are widely used by consumers for their distinctive mothball odor, naphthalene is a potentially harmful chemical and is dangerous to inhale. It readily sublimates at room temperature, transforming directly to a gaseous state. Inhalation of the gas irritates the respiratory tract and can destroy red blood cells, even after relatively short periods of exposure. Inhalation of naphthalene also has been linked to cataracts, optic nerve inflammation, nausea, vomiting, profuse perspiration and kidney and liver damage. Ingestion of the balls can be fatal. Naphthalene is also an eye and skin irritant.

>>>>In humans, naphthalene is broken down to alpha-naphthol, which is linked to the development of hemolytic anemia. Kidney and liver damage may also occur. Alpha-naphthol and other metabolites are excreted in urine.
In animals, naphthalene breaks down into other compounds including alpha-naphthol, which may affect the lungs and eyes. Naphthalene was found in the milk of exposed cows, but the residues disappeared quickly after the cows were no longer exposed. Nearly all the naphthalene was broken down into other compounds and excreted in their urine.
hope its help u .....
Explanation:
The inhalation of naphthalene balls gas is dangerous to our respiratory functioning. In case this gas is inhaled our body breaks down the molecules of naphthalene gas into harmful chemicals .Those chemicals react with cells present in our body and also damages other tissues.
Even if we wear clothes treated with naphthalene balls without washing them it may cause anaemia.
